Description

Following the successes of the LHC Long-Lived Particle (LLP) Workshops in April and October of 2017 and May and October of 2018 -- and continuing the robust and rich tradition defined by prior workshops such as “LHC Searches for Long-Lived BSM Particles: Theory Meets Experiment", at U. Mass, Amherst, in November of 2015; “Experimental Challenges for the LHC Run II", at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in May of 2016; and the “LHC Long-Lived Particles Mini-Workshop" at CERN in May of 2016 -- the LHC LLP Community, composed of members of the CMS, LHCb, and ATLAS collaborations as well as theorists, phenomenologists and those interested in LLP searches with dedicated LHC detectors such as milliQan, MoEDAL, MATHUSLA, FASER, Codex-b, etc., convenes again to assess the state of searches for long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model at the LHC, brainstorm about new ideas for LLP searches, and focus on the future of LLP searches in HEP, both at the LHC and for future detectors and projects.

The format will likely be similar to that of our previous workshops, i.e., a working-workshop, where we focus on discussion and collaboration, with any talks functioning to set the stage for that collaboration.

The agenda will coalesce in the months leading up to the workshop, but in addition to the usual updates about the status of searches at the main LHC detectors and dedicated detectors, both operating and planned, we will likely have breakout working sessions devoted to -- but not limited to -- the following:

  • What's next for LLP searches at the LHC?
  • What didn't we get to cover in the first white paper?
  • What triggers are missing for ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb for Run 3?
  • What about future detectors and projects?  How well do we understand the full and complete capabilities of the upgrade plans for the main LHC detectors to have sensitivity to the discovery of LLPs versus planned dedicated detectors?
  • What are we still overlooking with respect to LLPs at the HL-LHC?
  • What's the hottest-and-latest about dedicated detectors such as milliQan, MOeDAL, MATHUSLA, CODEX-b, FASER, etc.?
  • What about LLPs at next-generation projects like FCC, CEPC, ILC, CLIC?
  • How can we fully leverage machine learning tools to facilitate the discovery of LLPs?

And yes, of course there will be at least one lightning round!  Please contact the organizers with your proposal or idea.

Note that while we hope to see you in person at CERN, remote participation will indeed be available via Vidyo.

        town hall notes

        • more signature driven, but still have habit of relying on models. should work on new signatures. what topologies are we missing?
          • what format for these discussions?
          • blue-sky white paper?
          • need a least one representative model to convince people of trigger (in common between experiments)?
            • covered by simplified models in white paper?
        • assess importance of workshop based on agenda
          • day-wise separation of working groups
          • easier to organize workshop and easier to plan for people to come
        • one-week, once per year workshop at cern + smaller working group meetings throughout the year on video
        • too early to influence HL-LHC?
          • no: L1 trigger TDR in CMS this year
            • room for readjustment after these documents come out
            • larger community could help influence here
        • wide community influence before LHC, Tevatron, etc: need the same for HL-LHC, rather than technology-driven
        • would American colleagues rather have a workshop in the US?
          • yes, strong general feeling
          • Berkley, Tawain workshops are great
          • North American influence lately has been less in these workshops
            • not sure if 1 main workshop + smaller workshops elsewhere would help with this?
        • workshops at cern:
          • can often wander off and talk with other people at cern
          • more removed location forces everyone to stay and participate
          • although, 2 reasons to go to cern, easier to justify the expense of travel
        • Berkley:
          • smaller group, people put their laptops away
        • parts of the community that we’re not connecting with?
        • HNL community: workshops very useful, for theorists and experimentalists
          • limited by manpower: the more that happens in workshops, the more interest generated, the more results we get
