Description

The Standard Model of particle physics has been remarkably successful in describing fundamental particles and interactions, yet it leaves us with profound mysteries, such as dark matter, the baryon asymmetry of the universe, and the origin of neutrino mass. These enigmas drive the search for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Recent studies indicate that Liquid Argon Time projection Chambers (LArTPC) , as the Prototype of DUNE far detectors installed at CERN, have the potential to detect long-lived BSM particles from one of the targets (T2) in CERN’s north area exposed to the 400 GeV SPS beam. A key demonstration lies in observing neutrinos—well-known weakly interacting particles. Feasibility studies are ongoing with a test carried out using one of the ProtoDUNE detectors that could establish the potential of these detectors' for BSM searches. In this talk, we will highlight the status of our analysis and our plans for future BSM prospects.
