Signatures of new physics at the LHC are varied and, by nature, often very different from those of Standard Model processes. Novel experimental techniques, including dedicated data streams, are exploited to enhance the sensitivity of the…

A significant fraction of pp collisions at the LHC will involve (quasi-real) photon interactions occurring at energies well beyond the electroweak energy scale. Hence, the LHC can to some extend be considered as a high-energy photon-photon…
We investigate the spectacular collider signatures of macroscopically displaced, neutral particles that decay to Higgs bosons and missing energy. We show that such long-lived particles arise naturally in a very minimal extension of the…
