LHC experiments for long-lived particles of the dark sector
Vasiliki A. Mitsou
Dark matter scenarios are being tested at the LHC in the general-purpose experiments through promptly decaying states. In parallel, new dedicated detectors have been proposed for t…
Search for Highly-Ionizing Particles in pp Collisions at the LHC's Run-1 Using the Prototype MoEDAL Detector
B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, P. Benes +68
A search for highly electrically charged objects (HECOs) and magnetic monopoles is presented using 2.2 fb-1 of p - p collision data taken at a centre of mass energy (ECM) of 8 TeV…
Results and future plans of the MoEDAL experiment
Vasiliki A. Mitsou
The unprecedented collision energy of the LHC has opened up a new discovery frontier. Unfortunately, signs of new physics have yet to be seen. The LHC's first dedicated search expe…
First experimental search for production of magnetic monopoles via the Schwinger mechanism
B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, P. Benes +64
Schwinger showed that electrically-charged particles can be produced in a strong electric field by quantum tunnelling through the Coulomb barrier. By electromagnetic duality, if ma…
