Description
The key stone of the Standard Model (SM), the Higgs boson discovered at the LHC completed the SM and focused attention on the many open issues that the SM does not address: dark matter, the matter-antimatter asymmetry of our universe, and the naturalness of the electroweak scale in the absence of obvious TeV-scale signals of physics beyond the SM (BSM). Many of the extensions of the SM that address these issues include, some require, long-lived particles that decay at macroscopic distances from the pp interaction point (IP). Searches for such long-lived particles at the LHC in ATLAS, CMS and LHCb are described and ideas and plans for experiments to extend current searches discussed.
