dE/dx from boosted long-lived particles

Gian F. Giudice, Matthew McCullough, Daniele Teresi

At colliders massive long-lived charged particles could be revealed through their anomalously large ionisation energy loss . In this paper we explore a class of scenarios in…

The dark side of the proton

Matthew McCullough, James Moore, Maria Ubiali

We study the sensitivity of the High-Luminosity LHC to a light baryonic dark photon B, primarily coupled to quarks, as a constituent of the proton. This is achieved by allowing for…

Gegenbauer's Twin

Gauthier Durieux, Matthew McCullough, Ennio Salvioni

In Twin Higgs models the dominant source of fine-tuning is the cancellation of order required to obtain a Standard Model-like Higgs, where and are the electroweak…

Self-Organised Localisation

Gian F. Giudice, Matthew McCullough, Tevong You

We describe a new phenomenon in quantum cosmology: self-organised localisation. When the fundamental parameters of a theory are functions of a scalar field subject to large fluctua…

Charting the Fifth Force Landscape

Hannah Banks, Matthew McCullough

Fifth forces arising from hidden sector scalar operator exchange, as probed in a variety of present and planned experiments, can be captured by a general dispersion relation involv…

Undulating Dark Matter

Joe Davighi, Matthew McCullough, Joseph Tooby-Smith

We suggest that an interplay between microscopic and macroscopic physics can give rise to dark matter (DM) whose interactions with the visible sector fundamentally undulate in time…

Supersoft Stops

Timothy Cohen, Nathaniel Craig, Seth Koren +2

In a supersymmetric (SUSY) theory, the IR-contributions to the Higgs mass are calculable below the mediation scale in terms of the IR field content and parameters.…

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…

MATHUSLA: A Detector Proposal to Explore the Lifetime Frontier at the HL-LHC

Henry Lubatti, Cristiano Alpigiani, Juan Carlos Arteaga-Velázquez +60

The observation of long-lived particles at the LHC would reveal physics beyond the Standard Model, could account for the many open issues in our understanding of our universe, and…

The Hyperbolic Higgs

Timothy Cohen, Nathaniel Craig, Gian F. Giudice +1

We introduce the Hyperbolic Higgs, a novel solution to the little hierarchy problem that features Standard Model neutral scalar top partners. At one-loop order, the protection from…
