Description
The unprecedented collision energy of the LHC has opened up a new discovery regime. The first LHC dedicated search experiment, MoEDAL, has inaugurated the lifetime frontier being optimised for searches of long-lived particles. MoEDAL is designed to search highly ionising particle avatars of new physics using proton and heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. The upgrade for MoEDAL at Run 3 - the MAPP detector (MoEDAL Apparatus for Penetrating Particles) - will extend the physics reach to include feebly interacting, long-lived messengers of physics beyond the Standard Model. This will allow us to explore a number of models of new physics, including dark sector models, in a complementary way to that of the main LHC detectors. The presentation will focus on recently published results and plans for the Run 3 and HL-LHC.
