Unleashing the full power of LHCb to probe Stealth New Physics

Understand

In this paper, we describe the potential of the LHCb experiment to detect Stealth physics.

• This refers to dynamics beyond the Standard Model that would elude searches that focus on energetic objects or precision measurements of known processes.
• Stealth signatures include long-lived particles and light resonances that are produced very rarely or together with overwhelming backgrounds.
• We will discuss why LHCb is equipped to discover this kind of physics at the Large Hadron Collider and provide examples of well-motivated theoretical models that can be probed with great detail at the experiment.
