Searches for Long Lived Neutral Particles

Understand

An intriguing possibility for TeV scale physics is the existence of neutral long lived particles (LOLIPs) that subsequently decay into SM states.

• Such particles are many cases indistinguishable from missing transverse energy (MET) at colliders.
• We propose new methods to search for these particles using neutrino telescopes.
• We study their detection prospects, assuming production either at the LHC or through dark matter (DM) annihilations in the Sun and the Earth.
