Description
The MATHUSLA (MAssive Timing Hodoscope for Ultra-Stable neutraL pArticles) project is devoted to studying exotic, long-lived particle that, if found, could help answer many Beyond the Standard Model questions including dark matter interactions and the baryon asymmetry. MATHUSLA is a highly modular detector with a straightforward design. At UVIC, there is ongoing work to make a prototype which mimics one of the many modules making the detector. This is a multi-threaded process which includes building the physical prototype, characterizing the instrumentation, and solving the data acquisition puzzle. I will be discussing how our prototype will be locating muons within our detection volume using timing delays and what challenges this poses.
