We present the current status of MATHUSLA (MAssive Timing Hodoscope for Ultra-Stable neutraL pArticles) long-lived particle (LLP) detector at HL-LHC, covering design, fabrication and installation CERN Point 5. MATHUSLA40 is a 40 m-scale with an air-filled decay volume that instrumented scintillator tracking detectors, to be located near CMS. Its large size, close proximity CMS interaction point about 100 m rock shielding from LHC backgrounds allows it detect LLP production rates lifetimes...
We report on recent progress and next steps in the design of proposed MATHUSLA Long Lived Particle (LLP) detector for HL-LHC as part Snowmass 2021 process. Our understanding backgrounds has greatly improved, aided by detailed simulation studies, significant R&D been performed designing scintillator detectors their performance. The collaboration is track to complete a Technical Design Report, there are many opportunities interested new members contribute towards goal constructing time...
We report on recent progress in the design of proposed MATHUSLA Long Lived Particle (LLP) detector for HL-LHC, updating information original Letter Intent (LoI), see CDS:LHCC-I-031, arXiv:1811.00927. A suitable site has been identified at LHC Point 5 that is closer to CMS Interaction (IP) than assumed LoI. The decay volume increased from 20 m 25 height. Engineering studies have made order locate much below ground, bringing even IP. With these changes, a 100 x same physics reach large c$\tau$...
In this Letter of Intent (LOI) we propose the construction MATHUSLA (MAssive Timing Hodoscope for Ultra-Stable neutraL pArticles), a dedicated large-volume displaced vertex detector HL-LHC on surface above ATLAS or CMS. Such detector, which can be built using existing technologies with reasonable budget in time upgrade, could search neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) up to several orders magnitude better sensitivity than CMS, while also acting as cutting-edge cosmic ray telescope at CERN...
