SUMMARY:Looking forward to new physics with FASER: ForwArd Search ExpeRime
 nt at the LHC - Sebastian Trojanowski (NCNR Warsaw &amp\; CFP\, Sheffield)

DESCRIPTION:One of the most rapidly developing areas of research in partic
 le\nphysics nowadays is to look for new\, light\, extremely\nweakly-intera
 cting particles that could have avoided detection in\nprevious years due t
 o the lack of luminosity. These\, so-called\nintensity frontier searches\,
  have also broad cosmological connections\nto e.g. dark matter\, as well a
 s can help to unravel the mystery of\nneutrino masses. In this talk\, we w
 ill summarize the current status of\nthis field with a particular emphasis
  on a newly proposed experiment\nto search for such particles produced in 
 the far-forward region of the\nLHC\, namely FASER\, the ForwArd Search Exp
 eRiment. FASER has been proposed as a relatively cheap detector to supplem
 ent traditional\nexperimental programmes searching for heavy new physics p
 articles in\nthe high-pT region and\, therefore\, to increase the whole BS
 M physics\npotential of the LHC. On top of potentially far-reaching implic
 ations\nto BSM particle physics and cosmology\, the newly proposed detecto
 r can also be used to measure high-energy SM neutrino cross sections.\n\nS
