Abstract
The SND@LHC experiment is designed to study neutrinos produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, covering an energy range from 100 GeV to 1 TeV. It explores pseudo-rapidity region of $7.2 < \eta < 8.4$. The compact detector is positioned 480 meters downstream from the ATLAS Interaction Point (IP1) in the TI18 tunnel. Its setup includes a veto system, a tungsten target interleaved with nuclear emulsion layers, scintillating fiber trackers, and a muon detection system. The high muon flux through the SND@LHC detector, originating from the particles produced at IP1, enables the search for rare processes, such as the direct production of a muon pair by a muon interacting with the field of a nucleus. Here, we present the measurement of muonic trident production in the SND@LHC detector.
