Event generators like Pythia play an important role in physics studies at theLarge Hadron Collider (LHC). While they make accurate predictions in thecentral region, i.e. at pseudorapidities $\eta<5$, a disagreement betweenPythia and measurements in the forward region, $\eta>7$, has been observed. Weintroduce a dedicated forward physics tune for the Pythia event generator to beused for forward physics studies at the LHC, which uses a more flexiblemodelling of beam remnant hadronization and is tuned to available particlespectra measured by LHCf. Furthermore, we provide an uncertainty estimate onthe new tune in a data-driven way which can be used as a means of fluxuncertainty for future forward physics studies. We demonstrate an applicationof our tune by showing the updated neutrino and dark photon spectra at theFASER experiment.
