Description

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces the highest-energy accelerator
neutrinos, providing new opportunities to study neutrino interactions at
TeV energies. The FASER and SND@LHC experiments have successfully
detected neutrinos originating from LHC collisions and have begun
exploring this previously unmeasured energy regime with accelerator
neutrinos.

In this talk, I will review recent results from both experiments,
including measurements of neutrino interactions, cross sections, and
fluxes. These measurements offer opportunities to probe new physics in
neutrino interactions, shed light on QCD and forward hadron production,
and provide crucial input to astroparticle physics.

I will also discuss future prospects for forward neutrino physics at the
High-Luminosity LHC, including detector upgrades for LHC Run 4, the
proposed Forward Physics Facility, and other detector concepts.
