abstract

The FASER experiment at the LHC is designed to search for light, weakly-interacting particles produced in proton-proton collisions at the ATLAS interaction point that travel in the far-forward direction. The first results from a search for dark photons decaying to an electron-positron pair, using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 27.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 13.6$ TeV in 2022 in LHC Run 3, are presented. No events are seen in an almost background-free analysis, yielding world-leading constraints on dark photons with couplings $\epsilon \sim 2 \times 10^{-5} - 1 \times 10^{-4}$ and masses $\sim$ 17 MeV - 70 MeV. The analysis is also used to probe the parameter space of a massive gauge boson from a U(1)$_{B-L}$ model, with couplings $g_{B-L} \sim 5 \times 10^{-6} - 2 \times 10^{-5}$ and masses $\sim$ 15 MeV - 40 MeV excluded for the first time.

  1. Long-lived Axion-Like Particles from Tau Decays

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Leptophilic long-lived ALPs produced in tau decays are shown to yield new CHARM/BEBC constraints and improved future sensitivity, particularly at SHiP, extending reach to fa up to 10^8-10^9 GeV in LFV scenarios.

  2. Vector dark matter with non-abelian kinetic mixing

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A four-boson dark sector with one non-abelian kinetic-mixing operator can produce the observed dark-matter abundance by freeze-out, freeze-in, or 3-to-2 annihilations, with a dark-photon mediator almost degenerate wit...

  3. A SHIFT of Perspective: Observing Neutrinos at CMS and ATLAS

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A proposed LHC gas target would give CMS/ATLAS O(10^4) muon-neutrino and O(10^3) electron-neutrino interactions, opening forward hadron-production physics to neutrino detection.

  4. Indirect dark matter searches with neutrino telescopes via energetic cosmic showers

    hep-ph 2025-09 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    Bounds on Z'-mediated dark matter are derived from neutrino telescopes, freeze-in, and cosmic strings, but the telescope bounds rest on comparing a Galactic-center flux to faraway sources.
