Description

There has recently been a proposal to build a new detector at the Large Hadron Collider to search for so called 'milli-charged' particles. This experiment would search for particles beyond the standard model with masses up to 100GeV, and fractional electric charges as low as 0.001 that of the electron. In this talk, I will motivate the possible existence of milli-charged particles via kinetic mixing portals, discuss their current experimental state, and give an overview of this exciting new proposal.
