DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. ARTEAGA VELAZQUEZ\, Juan Carlos (Instituto de F
 ísica y Matemáticas\, Universidad Michoacana)\nThe main objective behind
  the MATHUSLA proposal is to build a large area hodoscope detector at grou
 nd level\, close to the interaction point of the CMS detector\, to  look f
 or the decay signals of neutral long lived particles (LLP) at the next HL-
 LHC runs in an environment with low background. LLPs are expected in the c
 ontext of Beyond Standard Models\, which try to solve open problems in fun
 damental particle physics.  The idea behind MATHUSLA is to monitor a large
  volume of air (100 m x 100 m x 25 m) with a series of layers of tracking 
 detectors to look for displayed vertices produced by the LLPs. The updated
  MATHUSLA design considers extruded scintillators for the tracking detecto
 rs. However\, it has been also considered to add an extra layer of RPCs to
  enhance the  extensive air shower detection capabilities of MATHUSLA to c
 arry out cosmic ray studies in the 100 TeV - 100 PeV regime. In this talk\
 , a brief introduction to MATHUSLA will be presented\, with an emphasis on
  its sensitivity to cosmic ray detection. A comparison of its performance 
 with that of other present and future cosmic ray facilities working in the
  same energy range as MATHUSLA will also be shown.\n\nhttps://indico.nucle
