In the seminar, I will describe my involvement in various areas of searches for Beyond the Standard Model phenomena. I will focus mostly on the MUonE experiment, which has been formed to solve the problem of long standing theory–measurement discrepancy in the value of muon’s anomalous magnetic moment, but is also sensitive to certain kinds of hypothetical long-lived particles (e.g. dark matter equivalent of photons).
I will also talk about the study of potential future colliders’ (in this case of Compact Linear Collider, or CLIC for short) ability to detect such particles and an ongoing measurement of the associated production cross-section of a Z boson and two b-quarks in the LHCb experiment. The latter being a process very sensitive to contributions from higher order loop effects and thus new particles.
