Description
We describe a class of models called ``hidden valleys'', which consist of low mass
hidden sector quarks charged under a new confining gauge group. Such sectors arise
often in string theories and elsewhere. The phenomenology of these sectors is often
qualitatively different from other beyond the standard model physics, giving rise to
long lived hidden sector hadrons, high invariant mass jets, and multiple isolated
leptons in the final state. We discuss search methods for hidden valleys at hadron
colliders.
