Description

Our efforts in searching for hints of new physics require close attention to the signatures of light particles arising in theories beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics, as they could have eluded our searches. In many theories, these light BSM particles can have long lifetimes and are worth exploring. We focus on light long-lived particles (LLPs) coming from the decay of the discovered Higgs boson and $B$-mesons. We propose dedicated and optimised LLP detectors for the future circular hadronic collider (FCC-hh) and study their sensitivity.
