Searching for metastable particles with sub-millimeter displaced vertices at hadron colliders

Abstract A variety of new-physics models predict metastable particles whose decay length is ≲ 1 mm. Conventional displaced-vertex searches are less sensitive to this sub-millimeter decay range, and thus such metastable particles have been looked for only in usual prompt decay searches. In this paper...
