SOURCE-LINKED INTELLIGENCE

UNlocking the strong Interactions with COllideR Neutrinos

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

unities, UNICORN will develop a comprehensive theoretical framework for modelling collider neutrino production and scattering, combining state-of-the-art calculations and Monte Carlo simulations with machine learning techniques. Applied to FASER and SND@LHC data from Run 3 (2022–2026), this project will enable the first determination of neutrino and muon deep-inelastic structure functions at TeV energies, proton structure global analyses including collider neutrino constraints, the validation of forward hadron production models, and data-driven predictions for prompt fluxes and cross-sections for neutrino astronomy. Exploiting the scientific potential of LHC neutrinos represents a once-in-a-lifetime transformative prospect for particle and astroparticle physics. By deploying our cutting-edge theoretical toolbox to the LHC far-forward experiments, UNICORN is uniquely positioned to scrutinise the strong interaction in uncharted regimes, provide critical inputs for Higgs physics and New Physics searches, and lay the groundwork for a thriving neutrino program at the High-Luminosity LHC
