Scintillators
Scintillators The FASER experiment has four scintillator stations that are used to veto charged particles entering the decay volume from the direction of the ATLAS IP. These are used for both triggering and inducing preshowers. The first two stations are the veto stations located in front of the dipole magnets and are primarily used to

Detector environment
Detector environment The LHC infrastructure naturally shields the FASER location in tunnel TI12 from most particles produced at the ATLAS IP. The remaining high-energy particles that can reach FASER are muons and neutrinos. Although most of the high-energy muons are deflected by the LHC magnets, some of them can still reach FASER. This is especially

Location
Location The FASER detector has been installed along the beam collision axis line of sight (LOS), in the side tunnel TI12, 480 m downstream from the ATLAS interaction point (IP). At this point, the main LHC tunnel starts to curve away from the LOS, as shown in Fig. 1. The TI12 tunnel was formerly used
