CMS-XSEN: LHC Neutrinos at CMS. Experiment Feasibility Study

Understand

We discuss a CMS eXtension for Studying Energetic Neutrinos (CMS-XSEN).

• Neutrinos at the LHC are abundant and have unique features: their energies reach out to the TeV range, and the contribution of the {\tau} flavour is sizeable.
• The measurement of their interaction cross sections has much physics potential.
• The pseudorapity range 4<|{\eta}|<5 is of particular interest since leptonic W decays provide an additional contribution to the neutrino flux from b and c production.
