SUMMARY:The search for exotic long-lived particles: illuminating a blind s
 pot of the LHC programme - Louie Corpe (CERN)
DTSTART:20221004T100000Z

UID:TALK174743@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:William Fawcett
DESCRIPTION:Exotic long-lived particles (LLPs) occur in many well-motivate
 d extensions to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics\, and could ex
 plain the nature of Dark Matter (DM). However\, LLPs could have been misse
 d by the traditional LHC search programme to date due to their non-standar
 d energy deposition patterns\, which would often be thrown away as noise b
 y standard reconstruction techniques. LLP signatures could be hiding in th
 e “Blind Spot” of LHC searches! This talk will include a general motiv
 ation for LLP searches\, and highlight the sort of signatures which are ex
 pected at CMS and ATLAS\, as well as the unusual background which must be 
 mastered.\nRecent examples of LLP results from the ATLAS collaboration wil
 l be used to highlight some of the novel techniques which are employed in 
 these searches. Finally\, prospects for the development of the LLP program
 me at CERN in coming years will be presented.
