The main goal of particles physics at the moment is finding new particles not included in the Standard Model. A specific type of particles that fall in this category and which are of great interest are those called "Long Lived Particles" (LLPs). LLPs are specially ellusive for the current detectors, given they usually decay out of their volume, which complicates a lot their finding. In this video we briefly explain what are LLPs and how we could find them, focusing in Codex-b, a new detector proposed for this goal.
