LHC-FASER is a new experiment at CERN, which aims at studying “collider neutrinos” for the first time, and also searching for new long-lived particles. The neutrinos available at the forward direction of the LHC feature three flavor neutrinos at the TeV energies. With the emulsion-based FASERnu detector, we will seek for new physics effects in three flavor neutrino scattering at these unexplored energies. The data taking has just started and we expect to collect O(10000) neutrino interactions in Run 3 of the LHC operation (2022-2025). In this talk, the status and prospect of FASERnu will be presented, together with a short overview of the future project at the HL-LHC.
