Description

Many models beyond the standard model predict new particles with long lifetimes. These long-lived particles (LLPs) decay significantly displaced from their initial production vertex thus giving rise to non-conventional signatures in the detector. Dedicated triggers and innovative usage of the CMS detector boost are exploited in this context to significantly boost the sensitivity of such searches at CMS. We present recent results of searches for long-lived particles and other unconventional signatures such as black holes, obtained using data recorded by the CMS experiment during the Run-II and Run-III of the LHC.
