Minicharged Particles at Accelerators: Progress and Prospects
Marc de Montigny, Pierre-Philippe A. Ouimet, James Pinfold +2
Minicharged particles (mCPs), hypothetical free particles with effective electric charges much smaller than the elementary charge, , offer a valuable probe of dark sectors and f…
Calibration of Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors for Rare Event Searches
M. Kalliokoski, G. Levi, A. Maulik +9
The calibration of the CR39 and Makrofol Nuclear Track Detectors of the MoEDAL experiment at the CERN-LHC was performed by exposing stacks of detector foils to heavy ion beams with…
Searching for Dark Pions with the MoEDAL-MAPP Detector at the LHC
Shafakat Arifeen, Pierre-Philippe Ouimet, James Pinfold +1
We investigate the potential for detecting pion-like dark matter within the framework of a Strongly Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP) model using the MoEDAL Apparatus for Penetra…
Minicharged Particle Sensitivity of the MAPP Outrigger Detector
Matti Kalliokoski, Vasiliki A. Mitsou, Marc de Montigny +5
We present a detailed study of the projected background-free sensitivity of the MAPP Outrigger Detector (OD) to minicharged particles (mCPs) at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Col…
