Title: “ANUBIS and the afterlife of long-lived particles”

Abstract:
Long-lived particles are predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model and 
have been gaining interest in recent years. The ANUBIS detector is a competitive 
proposal that substantially extends the sensitivity in lifetime by instrumenting 
the existing service shafts above the ATLAS or CMS experiments with tracking 
stations. For scenarios with electrically neutral long-lived particles with m > 
1 GeV, the lifetime reach is increased by 2-3 orders of magnitude compared to 
currently operating and approved future experiments at the LHC. In the talk, I 
will discuss the physics case for ANUBIS, review its detector technology, and 
outline the next steps for building and operating a prototype ANUBIS detector in 
2022 and 2023 at the LHC.
