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$\tau$...
Abstract A new radiation sensor derived from plasma panel display technology is introduced. It has the capability to detect ionizing and non‐ionizing over a wide energy range potential for use in many applications. The principle of operation described some early results presented.
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...

We report on studies of non-toxic scintillating liquid useful for large surface detectors. Arrays scintillators offer a rather simple tool detecting charged particles traversing and tracking their path through defined volume. Insertion wavelength shifting fibres along the containers significantly improves light collection at two ends scintillators. have demonstrated that we can achieve timing resolution O(1 ns) allowing good spatial resolution.
