Carlos V´azquezSierra 4th Red LHC workshop (Virtual) November 5, 2020 16 / 18 Conclusions LHCb proved to be very competitive for stealth physics: Excellent vertexing, tracking and soft trigger. Especially competitive for low masses and lifetimes. Rich variety of models and signatures can be approached. Bright prospects for the future: Removal of hardware trigger access softer kinematics. Better vertex resolution and tracking! capabilities. New techniques under development for ideas on new signatures. Many other existing results and proposed studies not covered: LFV Higgs decays [EPJC (2018) 78 1008] Searches for HNLs (produced from B and D meson decays, or from prompt W decays) (existing). LLP µ+jets (existing), ALPs γγ (on-going), True Muonium at LHCb (proposed)! see backup. ! ! White paper on Stealth physics at LHCb in preparation stay tuned! !
