SUMMARY:FASER: New Eyes for the LHC\, Physics Department Colloquium\, 
 Jonathan Feng\, University of California-Irvine
DESCRIPTION:Particle colliders have been the workhorse tool of particl
 e physics for over 60 years\, and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN ha
 s been the focus of attention for decades.  Despite this\, in recent y
 ears\, it has become clear that the physics potential of the LHC is fa
 r from being fully explored. In particular\, the existing billion doll
 ar detectors are blind to forward collisions\, which produce particles
  along the beamline.  We now know that these collisions are a treasure
  trove of physics\, containing the highest-energy neutrinos ever produ
 ced by humans and possible evidence for dark matter\, dark sectors\, m
 illi-charged particles\, and other new particles and forces.  FASER\, 
 the Forward Search Experiment\, was designed to cover this blind spot.
  Beginning in 2022\, FASER detected the first neutrinos in the history
  of particle colliders\, opening a new window on the high-energy front
 ier\, and started searching for a variety of new particles with world-
 leading sensitivity.  This talk will describe FASER's recent results\,
  how they complement the traditional LHC program\, and the Forward Phy
 sics Facility\, a proposal to fully realize the potential of forward p
 hysics in the coming decade.
