Abstract

SND@LHC is an approved experiment equipped to detect scatterings of neutrinos produced in the far-forward direction at the LHC, and aimed to measure their properties. In addition, the detector has a potential to search for new feebly interacting particles (FIPs) that may be produced in proton-proton collisions. In this paper, we discuss signatures of new physics at SND@LHC for two classes of particles: stable FIPs that may be detected via their scattering, and unstable FIPs that decay inside the detector. We estimate the sensitivity of SND@LHC to probe scatterings of leptophobic dark matter and decays of neutrino, scalar, and vector portal particles. Finally, we also compare and qualitatively analyze the potential of SND@LHC and FASER/FASERĪ½ experiments for these searches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
