Neutrino Experiments at the LHC and the HL-LHC

High energy neutrinos are copiously produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. In particular, a large neutrino flux is expected in the far-forward direction. This flux is concentrated near the beam axis, reaches energies up to the TeV scale, and for electron and tau neutrinos can be dominated by heavy flavour decays at the highest energies. These features open a new experimental window for studying neutrino interactions with dedicated forward detectors, in an energy range beyond the reach of traditional accelerator-based neutrino experiments. The new FASER and SND@LHC experiments reported the first direct observations of neutrino interactions at a hadron collider using the first data from Run 3, which started in 2022. Since then, the programme has advanced to the first measurements, including charged-current neutrino-nucleon cross sections and the detection of different neutrino flavours. This article describes the forward neutrino flux at the LHC, the acceptance and detector concepts of the Run 3 experiments, and summarises the current status of collider neutrino measurements. It also discusses prospects for extending this neutrino programme towards the HL-LHC era. The collected data will also provide constraints on very forward hadron production, and enable searches for feebly interacting particles.

Ad interim recommendations for the Higgs boson production cross sections at $\sqrt{s} = 13.6$ TeV

This note documents predictions for the inclusive production cross sections of the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre of mass energy of 13.6 TeV. The predictions here are based on simple extrapolations of previously documented predictions published in the CERN Yellow Report "Deciphering the Nature of the Higgs Sector". The predictions documented in this note should serve as a reference while a more complete and update-to-date derivation of cross section predictions is in progress.

Probing New Physics via pp-> W+W- -> lvjj at the CERN LHC

TeV scale new Physics, e.g., Large Extra Dimensions or Models with anomalous triple vector boson couplings, can lead to excesses in various kinematic regions on the semi-leptonic productions of pp -> WW -> lvjj at the CERN LHC, which, although suffers from large QCD background compared with the pure leptonic channel, can benefit from larger production rates and the reconstructable 4-body mass Mlvjj. We study the search sensitivity through the lvjj channel at the 7TeV LHC on relevant new physics, via probing the hard tails on the reconstructed Mlvjj and the transverse momentum of W-boson (PTW), taking into account main backgrounds and including the parton shower and detector simulation effects. Our results show that with integrated luminosity of 5fb-1, the LHC can already discovery or exclude a large parameter region of the new physics, e.g., 95% CL. limit can be set on the Large Extra Dimensions with a cut-off scale up to 1.5 TeV, and the WWZ anomalous coupling down to, e.g. |λ_Z|~0.1. Brief results are also given for the 8TeV LHC.
