Abstract:

We present a discovery-era strategy for intensity frontier experiments based on “didecay” events, in which feebly interacting particles (FIPs) are produced in pairs and then both decay inside the detector. This signature may exist in broad classes of models with FIPs decaying in the same way as minimal “portal” particles. The two displaced vertices may allow reconstruction of the pair invariant mass and hence reveal the production channel, information normally inaccessible at these facilities. This, in turn, lets one discriminate between FIP models that share identical decay signatures. As a case study, we consider the
model of Higgs-like scalars and show that SHiP, Belle II, and the Downstream@LHCb can each cover wide domains of viable parameter space using didecays.
