MoEDAL-MAPP: the first dedicated search experiment at the LHC

Abstract

This special issue brings together a collection of original research articles and review papers addressing topics directly related to the MoEDAL-MAPP experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The experiment is designed to search for (meta-)stable, anomalously ionising particles predicted by theoretical extensions of the Standard Model. Several contributions explore the theoretical and phenomenological aspects of models of particular relevance to the experiment, including scenarios involving magnetic monopoles, highly electrically charged particles, and millicharged particles. Other contributions focus on experimental developments, highlighting novel detection techniques and technological advances aimed at identifying these unconventional signatures and probing new phenomena beyond the Standard Model.
