SUMMARY:Searching for long-lived heavy neutrinos at the LHC - Dominique Tr
 ischuk (University of Victoria)

CONTACT:Dr Paul Swallow
DESCRIPTION:High-energy proton collisions can be used to study heavy parti
 cles that decay very quickly\, like the Higgs boson. But long-lived partic
 les – which travel more than a few millimeters before they decay – cou
 ld be escaping traditional search strategies focused on particles with sho
 rt lifetimes. Taking on the challenge of designing novel search techniques
  for particles that decay away from the proton collision point has enormou
 s potential\, since many theories point to long-lived particles as solutio
 ns to big questions we have about our Universe. For example\, long-lived h
 eavy neutrinos provide a natural way to generate light neutrino masses\, e
 xplain the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry and even provide a dark ma
 tter candidate. \n\nIn this talk I will present a case study of the unique
  experimental approaches used to hunt for long-lived heavy neutrinos using
  data collected by the ATLAS experiment. This talk will also discuss the l
 andscape of heavy neutrino searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and
  new directions which can be explored with the current data and the data t
 hat will be collected at the high-luminsoity LHC.
