A guide to hunting long-lived particles at the LHC
Simon Knapen, Steven Lowette
This article is a pedagogical review to searches for long-lived particles at the LHC, primarily aimed at experimentalists and theorists seeking to initiate and/or deepen their rese…
Geometry Optimization for Long-lived Particle Detectors
Thomas Gorordo, Simon Knapen, Benjamin Nachman +2
The proposed designs of many auxiliary long-lived particle (LLP) detectors at the LHC call for the instrumentation of a large surface area inside the detector volume, in order to r…
Report of the Topical Group on Physics Beyond the Standard Model at Energy Frontier for Snowmass 2021
Tulika Bose, Antonio Boveia, Caterina Doglioni +318
This is the Snowmass2021 Energy Frontier (EF) Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) report. It combines the EF topical group reports of EF08 (Model-specific explorations), EF09 (More gen…
Machine-Learning Compression for Particle Physics Discoveries
Jack H. Collins, Yifeng Huang, Simon Knapen +2
In collider-based particle and nuclear physics experiments, data are produced at such extreme rates that only a subset can be recorded for later analysis. Typically, algorithms sel…
Snowmass Theory Frontier: Astrophysics and Cosmology
Daniel Green, Joshua T. Ruderman, Benjamin R. Safdi +84
We summarize progress made in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology over the past decade and areas of interest for the coming decade. This Report is prepared as the TF09 "Astrophy…
Dark matter direct detection from the single phonon to the nuclear recoil regime
Brian Campbell-Deem, Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin +1
In most direct detection experiments, the free nuclear recoil description of dark matter scattering breaks down for masses 100 MeV, or when the recoil energy is comparab…
Lepton-flavor violating axions at MEG II
Yongsoo Jho, Simon Knapen, Diego Redigolo
We study the sensitivity of the existing MEG data to lepton flavor violating axion-like particles produced through and estimate the discovery potential for the up…
Snowmass2021 Theory Frontier: Theory Meets the Lab
Rouven Essig, Yonatan Kahn, Simon Knapen +2
We review how theorists have been instrumental in launching and developing new experiments in the last decade, and comment on the challenges and opportunities for this program to c…
Theory, phenomenology, and experimental avenues for dark showers: a Snowmass 2021 report
Guillaume Albouy, Jared Barron, Hugues Beauchesne +51
In this work, we consider the case of a strongly coupled dark/hidden sector, which extends the Standard Model (SM) by adding an additional non-Abelian gauge group. These extensions…
New Physics Searches at Kaon and Hyperon Factories
Evgueni Goudzovski, Diego Redigolo, Kohsaku Tobioka +61
Rare meson decays are among the most sensitive probes of both heavy and light new physics. Among them, new physics searches using kaons benefit from their small total decay widths…
