The first results of the study of high-energy electron neutrino (
νe) and muon neutrino (
νμ) charged-current interactions in the
FASERν emulsion-tungsten detector of the FASER experiment at the LHC are presented. A 128.8 kg subset of the
FASERν volume was analyzed after exposure to
9.5 fb−1 of
s=13.6 TeV pp data. Four (eight)
νe (
νμ) interaction candidate events are observed with a statistical significance of
5.2σ (
5.7σ). This is the first direct observation of
νe interactions at a particle collider and includes the highest-energy
νe and
νμ ever detected from an artificial source. The interaction cross section per nucleon
σ/Eν is measured over an energy range of 560–1740 GeV (520–1760 GeV) for
νe (
νμ) to be
(1.2−0.7+0.8)×10−38 cm2 GeV−1 [
(0.5±0.2)×10−38 cm2 GeV−1], consistent with standard model predictions. These are the first measurements of neutrino interaction cross sections in those energy ranges. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
