Disorder and Mimesis at Hadron Colliders

Understand

We discuss how systems with a large number of degrees of freedom and disorder in their mass matrix can play a role in particle physics.

• We derive results on their mass spectra using, where applicable, QFT techniques.
• We study concrete realizations of these scenarios in the context of the LHC and HL-LHC, showing that collider events with a large number of soft b-quark jets can be common.
• Such final states can hide these models from current searches at the LHC.
