Long-lived glueballs as a test of early matter domination [Extended talk]

Description

I will show how collider searches for long-lived particles (LLPs) can test the dynamics responsible for matter domination in the early universe. In particular I will focus on long-lived glueballs from a GeV-scale confining dark sector, of relevance for this workshop. After a summary of their cosmology, I will prove that searches of glueballs, from decays of the Higgs or other particles, test increasing values of dilution at ATLAS and CMS, CODEX-b, ANUBIS and MATHUSLA. These results provide a quantitative physics motivation to test longer lifetimes.
