Probing naturally light singlets with a displaced vertex trigger
Yuri Gershtein, Simon Knapen, Diego Redigolo
We investigate the physics case for a dedicated trigger on a low mass, hadronic displaced vertex at the high luminosity LHC, relying on the CMS phase II track trigger. We estimate…
The Migdal effect in semiconductors
Simon Knapen, Jonathan Kozaczuk, Tongyan Lin
When a nucleus in an atom undergoes a collision, there is a small probability to inelastically excite an electron as a result of the Migdal effect. In this Letter, we present a fir…
New opportunities at the photon energy frontier
Jaroslav Adam, Christine Aidala, Aaron Angerami +72
Ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) involving heavy ions and protons are the energy frontier for photon-mediated interactions. UPC photons can be used for many purposes, including p…
Searching for exotic B meson decays with the CMS L1 track trigger
Jared A. Evans, Abhijith Gandrakota, Simon Knapen +1
The CMS phase II track trigger may allow for a displaced dimuon vertex trigger with qualitatively lower thresholds than existing dimuon triggers. With this technique, we show…
