In some new physics models, there exists a long-lived colored particle. Although such a particle is expected be discovered by studying the muon-like tracks, it is not easy to discriminate hadronic events from leptonic ones at the Large…
The lack of evidence for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) particles might be due to their light mass and very weak interactions, as exemplified by BSM long-lived particles (LLPs). Such particles can be produced from $B$ or $D$ hadron decays.…
In the type-I two-Higgs-doublet model, the pseudoscalar $A$ can act as a long-lived particle (LLP) for sufficiently large values of $\tan\beta$. At the LHC, the $A$ particles are predominantly produced in pairs through $pp \to W^*/Z^* \to…

Searches for pair-produced long-lived particles (LLPs) at the LHC commonly operate under the assumption that the two LLPs are identical. In this paper we entertain the possibility that the targeted final states are, instead, induced by a…
