Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

The most exciting discovery to come from the LHC would be that of something completely unexpected. To that end, the ATLAS experiment has been enthusiastically analyzing the 2012 LHC data recorded at a centre of mass energy of 8 TeV looking for any possible evidence of new physics. A variety of signatures has been considered, including heavy resonances, excesses above the Standard Model...

A search for highly ionizing particles produced in 8 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC is performed with the ATLAS detector. A dedicated trigger increases significantly the sensitivity to signal candidates stopping in the electromagnetic calorimeter and allows to probe particles with higher charges and lower energies. Production cross section limits are obtained for stable particles in...

495. The MoEDAL Experiment at the LHC - a New Light on the High Energy Frontier

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

In 2010 the Canadian led MoEDAL experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was unanimously approved by CERN's Research Board to start data taking in 2015. MoEDAL is a pioneering experiment designed to search for highly ionizing avatars of new physics such as magnetic monopoles or massive (pseudo-)stable charged particles. Its groundbreaking physics program defines over 30 scenarios that...
