abstract = {The detection of TeV neutrinos from the LHC by the
far-forward detectors FASER and SND@LHC enables a plethora
of novel physics opportunities. Among these, the measurement
of the flavour, energy, and rapidity dependence of the LHC
forward neutrino fluxes provides unique constraints on
theoretical predictions of forward particle production in
hadronic collisions. We demonstrate that neutrino event
yield measurements at FASER from Run 3 and at its HL-LHC
upgrades enable a theory-agnostic extraction of the LHC
forward neutrino fluxes. We exploit the equivalence of the
problem with the determination of parton distributions from
deep-inelastic structure functions to apply the NNPDF
approach, based on machine learning regression and the Monte
Carlo replica method, to LHC neutrino fluxes. The resulting
NNνflux methodology is validated through closure tests and
applied to a first extraction of the LHC muon neutrino flux
from the FASER 2024 data. We show how NNνflux can
discriminate between event generators of forward hadron
production; scrutinize a possible intrinsic charm component
in the proton; and constrain BSM scenarios with enhanced
decays of neutral hadrons into neutrinos.},
