abstract = {Event generators like pythia play an important role in
physics studies at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While
they make accurate predictions in the central region, i.e.,
at pseudorapidities η<5, a disagreement between pythia and
measurements in the forward region η>7 has been observed.
We introduce a dedicated forward physics tune for the pythia
event generator to be used for forward physics studies at
the LHC, which uses a more flexible modeling of beam remnant
hadronization and is tuned to available particle spectra
measured by LHCf. Furthermore, we provide an uncertainty
estimate on the new tune in a data-driven way which can be
used as a means of flux uncertainty for future forward
physics studies. We demonstrate an application of our tune
by showing the updated neutrino and dark photon spectra at
the FASER experiment.},
