Enhanced long-lived dark photon signals at the LHC

  • Event Date: 2021-02-25
  • Particle/String/Cosmology
  • Speaker: Dr. Van Que Tran (Nanjing University)  /  Host: Prof. Kingman Cheung (NTHU)
    Place: R521, 5F, 2nd General Building, Nat'l Tsing Hua Univ.


The LHC searches for long-lived dark photons with GeV scale mass in the kinetic mixing models 
suffer from the fact that the same coupling that makes the dark photon long-lived suppresses the production rate. In this talk, I will present a model where the long-lived dark photon signals at the LHC can be enhanced. The long-lived dark photons in the model can be discriminated from the background by measuring the time delay signal in the precision timing detectors which are proposed to be installed in the LHC upgrades and have an O(10) pico-second detection efficiency. Searches with current LHCb data are also investigated.
