Description

The LHCb detector at the LHC provides unique coverage in the forward rapidity region (2<$\eta$<5). Its flexible trigger system enables the efficient recording of low-mass states, while the high-precision vertex detector allows for excellent separation between primary interactions and secondary decays. These capabilities make LHCb particularly powerful in exploring regions of phase space relevant to searches for both prompt and long-lived particles. A selection of searches will be presented, including searches for heavy neutral leptons and axion-like particles.
