FoCal is an upgrade of the ALICE experiment at the LHC, to be installed during Long Shutdown 3 for data-taking in the period 2029-2032. FoCal consists of a highly granular Si+W electromagnetic calorimeter combined with a Cu+scintillating-fiber hadronic calorimeter, covering pseudo-rapidity $3.2&lt;\eta&lt;5.8$. FoCal has unique capabilities to measure direct photon production at forward rapidity, which probes the gluon distribution in protons and nuclei at small-$x$, and is theoretically calculable at high precision. FoCal will carry out inclusive and correlation measurements of photons, neutral mesons, and jets in hadronic pp and p-Pb collisions, as well as J/$\psi$ production in ultra-peripheral p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions. FoCal extends significantly the scope of the ALICE physics program to explore the dynamics of hadronic matter and the nature of QCD evolution at small $x$, down to $x\sim10^{-6}$.</ab> <la/> <k1/> <pb/> <pp/> <yr>2024</yr> <ed/> <ul>http://cds.cern.ch/record/2890281/files/ALICE-TDR-022.pdf; http://cds.cern.ch/record/2890281/files/ALICE-TDR-022.jpg?subformat=icon-180; </ul> <no>Imported from Invenio.</no> </reference> </references>
