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…
The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…
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…
Search for Highly-Ionizing Particles in pp Collisions During LHC Run-2 Using the Full MoEDAL Detector
MoEDAL Collaboration
This search for Magnetic Monopoles (MMs) and High Electric Charge Objects (HECOs) with spins 0, 1/2 and 1, uses for the first time the full MoEDAL detector, exposed to 6.6 fb^-1 pr…
