SND@LHC is a compact experiment performing measurements with neutrinos produced at the LHC in a hitherto unexplored pseudo-rapidity region of 7.2 < 𝜂 < 8.6, complementary to all the other experiments at the LHC. The experiment is located 480 m downstream of IP1 in the unused TI18 tunnel. It 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. The detector has collected more than 300 fb-1 of integrated luminosity during the Run3 of the LHC. While analysing the data taken, the Collaboration is working on the upgrade of the detector to exploit the high-luminosity phase of the LHC machine that will start in 2030. In this seminar we will show the first results obtained by the experiment and will discuss their impact on the searches for neutrinos from astrophysical sources. We shall also address the ongoing detector developments for the upgrade, that was recently approved by the Research Board at CERN. A new era of collider neutrino physics has started.
