Abstract

Abstract : We discuss the hunt for long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider. A motivation is given for such searches, and the experimental challenges are presented. It has become clear in the last few years that the present experiments are not optimally equipped to cover the full phase space of possibilities for such scenarios, so recently small additional experiments have been proposed for specific searches. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Topological avatars of new physics'.
