Description
RPC detectors combine several crucial advantages of excellent timing precision, high detection efficiency, and good spacial resolution, all at a moderate cost. This makes RPC detectors a prime choice for instrumenting large detector volumes for tracking applications where timing plays a crucial role. This talk reviews the ANUBIS detector concept using RPC detectors to search for long-lived particles at the high-luminosity LHC in a hitherto inaccessible lifetime regime. A small-scale demonstrator called pro-ANUBIS is introduced, which will take data on-surface above the ATLAS detector in autumn 2022, and inside the ATLAS cavern in 2023. Finally, first commissioning results of pro-ANUBIS are presented.
