  SND@LHC is a compact and stand-alone experiment to perform measurements with
neutrinos produced at the LHC in a hitherto unexplored pseudo-rapidity region
of $7.2 < \eta < 8.4$, complementary to all the other experiments at the LHC.
The experiment is located 480 m downstream of IP1 in the unused TI18 tunnel.
The detector is composed of a hybrid system based on an 800 kg target mass of
tungsten plates, interleaved with emulsion and electronic trackers, followed
downstream by a calorimeter and a muon system. The configuration allows
efficiently distinguishing between all three neutrino flavours, opening a
unique opportunity to probe physics of heavy flavour production at the LHC in
the region that is not accessible to ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. SND@LHC has started
taking data in 2022 and in this work the direct observation of muon neutrino
interaction in the detector is reported.
