FASER is designed to discover dark photons, axion-like particles, and other light and very weakly-interacting particles that are produced in the far-forward region, outside the acceptance of the larger LHC detectors. The experiment has been successfully constructed and installed and started taking data with the beginning of Run 3 of the LHC. This talk will present FASER’s physics prospects,...
FASERnu is a 1-tonne emulsion/tungsten detector that is designed to detect and study collider neutrinos for the first time. The detector is located at the LHC in the far-forward region, 480 m from the ATLAS interaction point, and is detecting neutrinos at the highest human-made energies ever, with implications for neutrino properties, QCD, and BSM searches. The detector started taking data...
SND@LHC is a compact and stand-alone experiment to perform measurements with neutrinos and long lived particles produced at the LHC in a hitherto unexplored pseudo-rapidity region of 7.2 < 𝜂 < 8.6, complementary to all the other experiments at the LHC. The experiment is located 480 m downstream of IP1 in the unused TI18 tunnel. The detector is composed of a hybrid system based on an 800 kg...
The MoEDAL experiment was approved by CERN’s Research Board (CRB) for reinstallation for LHC’s Run-3 in 2021 to continue its search for highly ionizing particle (HIP) avatars of new physics at LHC’s Run-3. Likewise, the MoEDAL Apparatus for Penetrating Particles (MAPP) was approved by the CRB for installation in the UA83 tunnel to begin data taking during Run-3. MoEDAL and MAPP-1 are...
The High Luminosity LHC will be a tremendous opportunity to search for long-lived particles (LLPs) from an extended hidden/dark sector, feebly connected to the known SM sector. Such LLP searches will require special detectors, placed far away from the proton-proton collision point and shielded against SM backgrounds. The CODEX-b detector, to be placed behind a thick shielding wall inside the...
Previous searches for BSM LLPs produced at the LHC have been hindered by a lack of tracking detectors existing at a significant distance from the interaction point. The ATLAS Experiment’s detectors only cover up to about 10 m from the LHC’s beam line, which causes the Experiment’s sensitivity to LLPs to drop-off significantly for particles with proper lifetimes in excess of O(10 ns). The...
We will present the status of the of milliQan Run 3 Detector that has been installed in PX56 at CERN LHC P5.
The MATHUSLA experiment is a 100m x 100m x 25m long-lived particle detector that will be located above CMS, aiming to discover long-lived particles produced in pp collisions at IP5. The latest status of the MATHUSLA detector will be presented, including detector layout, prototyping, and sensitivity studies.
In this talk, we will present the status of the proposed FACET upgrade of the CMS detector for HL-LHC, including its physics reach for various types of LLPs and our progress in understanding the backgrounds and finalizing the detector design.
