SUMMARY:Exploring the Performance of the CODEX-b Detector - Paul Swallow (
 University of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20241008T100000Z
DTEND:20241008T110000Z
UID:TALK222475@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr. Aashaq Shah
DESCRIPTION:In order to explain limitations of the standard model theories
  often introduce exotic long-lived particles (LLPs)\, these have weak coup
 lings to standard model particles such that they may escape detection at t
 ypical detectors close to the beamline. This has led to large programme of
  dedicated LLP experiments to develop over the last decade or so\, which a
 im to capitalise on vast regions of uncovered parameter space. One such pr
 oposal is that of the COmpact Detector for EXotics at LHCb (CODEX-b)\, a m
 oderately sized detector to be located close to the LHCb experiment. This 
 talk will give an overview of the CODEX-b detector and its proposed aims\,
  as well as discussing work undertaken on testing of essential detector co
 mponents and track reconstruction studies to help inform and affirm the pl
 anned design of CODEX-b through the construction of a demonstrator\, CODEX
 -β.
