Description

The FASER experiment studies three generations of neutrinos in the unexplored TeV energy region using the Large Hadron Collider at center-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV.
The FASER detector is located 480 m downstream the ATLAS IP.
The FASER$\nu$ emulsion detector, a component of FASER, consists of 730 layers of emulsion films and tungsten plates, with a target mass of 1.1 tons.
Thanks to the high spatial resolution of the emulsion detector, FASER$\nu$ can detect all neutrino flavors and measure differential cross-sections.
The objective of this work presented here is to develop a method to reconstruct momenta of high-energy charged particles in the FASER$\nu$ detector by means of the multiple Coulomb scattering.
In this poster, we will report on the evaluation results from Monte Carlo simulations, the status of irradiation and analysis in a test beam experiment in summer 2023, and an application of the method to FASER$\nu$'s 2022 data.
