BESIII is a symmetric e+e- collider operating at c.m. energy from 2.0 to 4.95 GeV. With the world’s largest data set of J/psi (10 billion), psi(3686) (2.6 billion), and about 25 fb^-1 scan data from 3.77 to 4.95 GeV, various dark sectors and various rare processes can be searched for at BESIII. In this talk, we report the search for invisible dark photon decay using initial state radiation,...
Many different theories beyond the Standard Model (SM) predict that new physics will manifest itself by decaying into final states involving leptons. Leptoquarks are predicted by many new physics theories to describe the similarities between the lepton and quark sectors of the SM. Right-handed Ws and heavy-neutrinos are also predicted by many extensions of the SM in the gauge sector, and...
Many Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories predict the existence of long-lived particles (LLPs), which can exhibit unusual experimental signatures. Standard reconstruction algorithms may inadvertently reject events or objects containing LLPs. Therefore, dedicated searches are essential to uncover LLP signals. This presentation will discuss the recent results from LLP searches with the ATLAS...
The NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS is a multipurpose fixed-target spectrometer for charged and neutral hadron measurements. Its research program includes studies of strong interactions as well as reference measurements for neutrino and cosmic-ray physics. One major goal of its strong interaction program is to determine the existence and pinpoint the location of the QCD critical point,...
Supersymmetry (SUSY) provides elegant solutions to several problems in the Standard Model, and searches for SUSY particles are an important component of the LHC physics program. With increasing mass bounds on more classical MSSM scenarios other variations of supersymmetry, including long-lived particles, compressed states or a non-minimal particle content, become increasingly interesting. This...
