Improving the potential of BDF@SPS to search for new physics with liquid argon time projection chambers
arXiv:2312.14868 · doi:10.1007/JHEP02(2024)196
Abstract
Beam dump experiments proposed at the SPS are perfectly suited to explore the parameter space of models with long-lived particles, thanks to the combination of a large intensity with a high proton beam energy. In this paper, we study how the exploration power may be augmented further by installing a detector based on liquid argon time projection chamber technology. In particular, we consider several signatures of new physics particles that may be uniquely searched for with such a detector, including double bang events with heavy neutral leptons, inelastic light dark matter, and millicharged particles.
