Abstract

The first neutrinos from the proton-proton collisions at an energy of 13.6 TeV were registered in the pseudorapidity range of 7.2 > η > 8.4 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 to distinguish the interactions of the neutrinos of all three flavors and to investigate the process of the charmed particles’ generation in the pseudorapidity region inaccessible to other experiments at the LHC. The aim of the experiment is also to study the scattering of weakly interacting particles on the electrons and protons of the target.
