Abstract
FASER$\nu$ at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to directly detect neutrinos from a collider for the first time and study their cross sections at TeV energies. To date, no such measurements have been made. In 2018, a pilot detector was installed and collected proton-proton collision data of 12.2 fb$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. We observed the first neutrino interaction candidates at the LHC, opening a new avenue for studying neutrinos from current and future high-energy colliders. During Run 3 of the LHC from 2022, we will deploy a neutrino detector with a target mass of 1.1 tons. We expect to collect $\sim$2,000 $\nu_e$, 6,000 $\nu_{\mu}$, and 40 $\nu_{\tau}$ interactions in the detector.
Author comments upon resubmission
Dear Editor and Referee,
Thank you for reviewing our manuscript carefully and providing valuable comments. Please find below our response to your comments.
- We removed "the existing", and added references [7][8] in the text.
- We added reference[10] for such a figure and rephrased the text "electron neutrinos at high energies above $\sim$500 GeV, which mainly originate from charm decays".
- According to SK (http://arxiv.org/1711.09436) and IceCube (https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.05366), the tau neutrino appearance analysis is done with data up to 70 GeV (SK) and 56 GeV (IceCube). The plot indicates these energy ranges.
- We added a bit more details.
- We corrected.
- We corrected.
List of changes
As Listed above, we changed the following points.
- We added references [3][4][7][8].
- In the last paragraph of Sec. 1, we rephrased the text "electron neutrinos at high energies above $\sim$500 GeV, which mainly originate from charm decays".
- We added a bit more detail in Sec. 3.
- We corrected "detector is consisted" -> "detector consists" in Sec. 4.
- We corrected "will be installed in the tunnel in November 2021" -> "were installed in the tunnel in November 2021" in Sec. 4.
