The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposal to create cavern with the space and infrastructure support suite of far-forward experiments at Large Hadron Collider during High Luminosity era. Located along beam collision axis shielded from interaction point by least 100 m concrete rock, FPF will house that detect particles outside acceptance existing large LHC observe rare exotic processes in an extremely low-background environment.
