Identification of long-lived charged particles using time-of-flight systems at the upgraded LHC detectors

Abstract We study the impact of precision timing detection systems on the LHC experiments’ long-lived particle search program during the HL-LHC era. We develop algorithms that allow us to reconstruct the mass of such charged particles and perform particle identification using the time-of-flight meas...
