SUMMARY:MATHUSLA and the Lifetime Frontier at the LHC
DESCRIPTION:Featuring John Paul Chou\, Rutgers University\nHosted by: Zeyne
	p Demiragli\n\nPart of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nThere is substantial theo
	retical motivation for the production of long-lived particles at the LHC.  
	In this seminar\, I will introduce MATHUSLA\, a proposed surface level dete
	ctor above an LHC collision point\, which aims to discover ultra-long-lived
	 particles with lifetimes as long as O(1) s\, and which would boost the sen
	sitivity of the HL-LHC by orders of magnitude.  I begin with a discussion o
	f the theoretical motivations (from naturalness\, to baryogenesis\, to dark
	 matter)\, before describing the theory-level detector design.  Recent upda
	tes on background estimates and technical design for the proposed detector 
	will be presented as well.
