Long-lived particles (Cottin, Giovanna)
Content
Several theoretical models that are able to explain physics beyond the Standard Model predicts the existence of particles with large lifetimes, named nowadays long-lived particles (LLPs). These hypothetical states could travel macroscopic distances before decaying inside particle detectors – such as the ones operating today at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN – thus yielding more exotic collider signatures as opposed to promptly decaying states. Therefore, if new physics is long-lived, it may be escaping detection. In this talk, I will provide a theory/pheno overview on LLPs, highlighting the long-lived particle phenomenology of selected models motivated by neutrino masses and dark matter.
