在高亮度大型强子对撞机（LHC）的高能碰撞产生了大量的粒子沿着束碰撞轴，现有的LHC实验的接受范围之外。拟议中的正向物理设施（FPF）将位于距ATLAS相互作用点数百米处，并由混凝土和岩石屏蔽，将举办一系列实验，以探测标准模型（SM）过程并搜索标准模型（BSM）之外的物理。在这份报告中，我们回顾了土木工程计划和实验的现状，以探索可以在前沿区域进行独特探测的各种物理信号。FPF实验将通过在低背景环境中使用TeV中微子进行高统计分析，寻找新的粒子散射或衰变特征以及与SM预期的偏差，对广泛的BSM物理敏感。高统计中微子的探测也将为微扰和非微扰QCD以及弱相互作用的基础课题提供有价值的数据。FPF的实验将使LHC的正向粒子产生和天体粒子物理学之间的协同作用得到利用。我们在这里报告这些物理主题，基础设施，探测器和模拟研究，以及未来的方向，以实现FPF的物理潜力。
High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC experiments. The proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF), to be located several hundred meters from the ATLAS interaction point and shielded by concrete and rock, will host a suite of experiments to probe standard model (SM) processes and search for physics beyond the standard model (BSM). In this report, we review the status of the civil engineering plans and the experiments to explore the diverse physics signals that can be uniquely probed in the forward region. FPF experiments will be sensitive to a broad range of BSM physics through searches for new particle scattering or decay signatures and deviations from SM expectations in high statistics analyses with TeV neutrinos in this low-background environment. High statistics neutrino detection will also provide valuable data for fundamental topics in perturbative and non-perturbative QCD and in weak interactions. Experiments at the FPF will enable synergies between forward particle production at the LHC and astroparticle physics to be exploited. We report here on these physics topics, on infrastructure, detector, and simulation studies, and on future directions to realize the FPF’s physics potential.
