High Multiplicity Trigger for Long-Lived Particles in CMS detector
M. Abbott, D. Acosta, D. Aebi +100
Searches for long-lived particles (LLPs) at the CMS experiment often involve unconventional event topologies that are difficult to efficiently select using standard trigger strateg…
Quality Control of Mass-Produced GEM Detectors for the CMS GE1/1 Muon Upgrade
M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia, H. Abdalla +179
The series of upgrades to the Large Hadron Collider, culminating in the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, will enable a significant expansion of the physics program of the CMS…
Illuminating long-lived dark vector bosons via exotic Higgs decays at
Tamer Elkafrawy, Marcus Hohlmann, Teruki Kamon +4
The possibility of producing a measurable long-lived dark boson, that is assumed to be produced either via its kinetic mixing with the hypercharge gauge boson or via mixing of…
Review of opportunities for new long-lived particle triggers in Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider
Juliette Alimena, James Beacham, Freya Blekman +75
Long-lived particles (LLPs) are highly motivated signals of physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) with great discovery potential and unique experimental challenges. The LLP searc…
Modeling the triple-GEM detector response to background particles for the CMS Experiment
M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia, H. Abdalla +186
An estimate of environmental background hit rate on triple-GEM chambers is performed using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and compared to data taken by test chambers installed in the…
Performance of a Triple-GEM Demonstrator in Collisions at the CMS Detector
M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia, H. Abdalla +178
After the Phase-2 high-luminosity upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the collision rate and therefore the background rate will significantly increase, particularly in the…

M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia, H. Abdalla +178
We present analytical calculations, Finite Element Analysis modeling, and physical measurements of the interstrip capacitances for different potential strip geometries and dimensio…
Searching for long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider
Juliette Alimena, James Beacham, Martino Borsato +198
Particles beyond the Standard Model (SM) can generically have lifetimes that are long compared to SM particles at the weak scale. When produced at experiments such as the Large Had…
