Signatures of long-lived particles

Signatures of long-lived particles in the CMS detector.
Inspired by J. Antonelli’s presentation at ICHEP 2016.

Summary of all signatures:
Displaced dilepton:
Displaced lepton:
Heavy long-lived charged particle (HSCP):
Disappearing track:
Displaced dijet:
Displaced vertex:
Displaced conversion:
Displaced photon:
Displaced dilepton in association with a prompt lepton, like the single production of a heavy neutral lepton (HNL), denoted as N, where the HNL decays via a charged current to the fully leptonic final state:
Displaced jet and lepton, in association with a prompt lepton, like single HNL production where the HNL decays via a charged current to the semileptonic final state:
Fully leptonic HNL decay:
Semileptonic HNL decay:
