New ideas for LLPs at LHCb
- Federico Leo Redi (CERN)

The LHCb is starting to take data in Run 3 with a completely renewed DAQ system, allowing it to take data at 30 MHz, analyzing in real time the full LHC non-empty collision rate, at an instantaneous luminosity 5 times larger than the one of the past run. One novel opportunity offered by this system is triggering on long-lived particles at the earliest stages of the trigger, thus increasing...
B decays into multiple muons are predictions of well motivated BSM theories shuch as Composite Higgs models. In this talk, I will present the results of the phenomenologycal analysis developed in order to probe the sensitivity of the LHCb detector to those decay chains, showing that the proposed search could probe extensive regions of the parameter space which could explain the commented...
Long-lived particles (LLPs) show up in many extensions of the Standard Model, yet are challenging to search for with current detectors, due to their very displaced vertices. In this talk, I will evaluate the ability of the trigger algorithms used in the LHCb experiment to detect long-lived particles and work to adapt them in order to enhance the sensitivity of this experiment to undiscovered...
