Abstract

SND@LHC experiment investigates processes involving neutrinos generated at the Large Hadron Collider in the region of pseudorapidities 7.2 < η < 8.6. The detector includes a target of 830 kg consisting of tungsten plates alternating with emulsion and electronic detectors, behind which a hadron calorimeter and a muon detection system are located. The detector’s design provides a unique opportunity to study the generation of the charmed particles in the pseudorapidity region inaccessible to other LHC experiments. The paper presents the current state of the experiment and the prospects for the coming years.
