abstract = {This paper presents the first results of the study of
high-energy electron and muon neutrino charged-current
interactions in the FASER$ν$ emulsion/tungsten detector of
the FASER experiment at the LHC. A subset of the FASER$ν$
volume, which corresponds to a target mass of 128.6~kg, was
exposed to neutrinos from the LHC $pp$ collisions with a
centre-of-mass energy of 13.6~TeV and an integrated
luminosity of 9.5 fb$^{-1}$. Applying stringent selections
requiring electrons with reconstructed energy above 200~GeV,
four electron neutrino interaction candidate events are
observed with an expected background of
$0.025^{+0.015}_{-0.010}$, leading to a statistical
significance of 5.2$σ$. This is the first direct
observation of electron neutrino interactions at a particle
collider. Eight muon neutrino interaction candidate events
are also detected, with an expected background of
$0.22^{+0.09}_{-0.07}$, leading to a statistical
significance of 5.7$σ$. The signal events include neutrinos
with energies in the TeV range, the highest-energy electron
and muon neutrinos ever detected from an artificial source.
The energy-independent part of the interaction cross section
per nucleon is measured over an energy range of 560--1740
GeV (520--1760 GeV) for $ν_e$ ($ν_μ$) to be
$(1.2_{-0.7}^{+0.8}) \times
10^{-38}~\mathrm{cm}^{2}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$ ($(0.5\pm0.2)
\times 10^{-38}~\mathrm{cm}^{2}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$),
consistent with Standard Model predictions. These are the
first measurements of neutrino interaction cross sections in
those energy ranges.},
