Hunting long-lived particles with intelligent triggers at the High-Luminosity LHC

Hunting long-lived particles with intelligent triggers at the High-Luminosity LHC The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC closes a central chapter of the standard model of particle physics but rais-es questions about dark matter, neutrino masses, and baryon asymmetry. Answers may involve long-lived particles (LLPs) with non-standard signatures, requiring advanced identification algorithms. Enhancing trigger capabilities to dis-cover LLPs and evidence of beyond-the-standard-model (BSM) physics is therefore a crucial task. INTREPID uses ad-vanced machine learning and ultra-fast processing to improve future trigger systems, potentially revolutionising high-energy physics and benefiting industries that need real-time data processing.
