Instrumentation and Detectors 2020-08-19 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

Charge quantization has always been enigmatic. Theoretically, Millicharged particles can be an answer. The use of existing detectors, without affecting their initial mandate, is a very promising low cost new physics detector for millicharged particles. The Milliqan collaboration has installed a 1/100th version of the full detector at LHC point 5 in CMS. Data collected in 2018 is now under investigation/analysis. Some results are presented in this paper.
