Probing new physics with displaced vertices: Muon tracker at CMS

Lesya Shchutska, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Kyrylo Bondarenko

Long-lived particles can manifest themselves at the LHC via "displaced vertices"-several charged tracks originating from a position separated from the proton interaction point by a macroscopic distance. Here we demonstrate the potential of the muon tracker ...
