For years, it has been believed that the main LHC detectors can only restrictively play the role of a lifetime frontier experiment exploring the parameter space of long-lived particles (LLPs) - hypothetical particles with tiny couplings to…
Long-lived particles (LLPs) are particles that are stable or that live long enough for their decays to be experimentally distinguishable in time or position from their production point. We provide an overview of the phenomenology and…
