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.
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.
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, the ALP with photon coupling, the up-philic scalar. In addition we include examples for the scattering of Millicharged particles, as discussed in arXiv:2205.09137, and the coherent convsersion of photons into ALPs, as discussed in arXiv:2204.03599.
