Abstract:
Long-lived particles (LLPs) are predicted in a wide range of extensions to the Standard Model, including R-parity violating supersymmetry, gauge-mediated SUSY breaking, exotic Higgs decays, heavy neutral leptons, and other scenarios. These models are often connected to fundamental questions in particle physics, such as naturalness, dark matter, baryogenesis, and the origin of neutrino masses.
In this talk, I present recent results from the CMS experiment on searches for LLPs using proton-proton collision data from the LHC. The focus is on advanced techniques for identifying displaced signatures, reducing Standard Model backgrounds, and setting upper limits on the production cross-section and branching fractions of LLPs.
