Running FORESEE for FASER2 studies

The latest implementation of the DarkPhoton model with HepMC event generation of the decayed LLPs (to be passed to G4) can be run with:

FORESEE: FORward Experiment SEnsitivity Estimator

By Felix Kling and Sebastian Trojanowski

Introduction

We present the numerical package FORward Experiment SEnsitivity Estimator, or FORESEE, that can be used to simulate the expected sensitivity reach of experiments placed in the far-forward direction from the proton-proton interaction point. We also provide a comprehensive list of validated forward spectra of various SM species.

Paper

Our main publication FORESEE: FORward Experiment SEnsitivity Estimator for the LHC and future hadron colliders provides an overview over this package. We recommend reading it first before jumping into the code.

Tutorials

In the main folder in this repository, we provide tutorials for different LLP models: the dark photon, the dark Higgs, the ALP with W couplings and the up-philic scalar.
