The first neutrinos from the proton–proton collisions at an energy of 13.6 TeV were registered in the pseudorapidity range of
in the SND@LHC experiment at CERN. SND@LHC is an autonomous experiment based on a compact hybrid detector for detecting high-energy neutrinos at the Large Hadron Collider. The detector allows distinguishing the interactions of the neutrinos of all three flavors and investigating the process of the charmed particles’ generation in the pseudorapidity range unexplored to other experiments at the LHC. The experiment is also aimed at studying the scattering of weakly interacting particles on the electrons and protons of the target.
