Research summary

I am using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC to search for new physics at the energy frontier.  In particular, I am interested in exotic long lived particles that produce strange signatures in the detector, and may go unnoticed by orthodox searches.  I lead the CMS physics working group in this area.  Our recent results include searches for neutral particles that decay to leptons within the CMS detector, long lived particles that decay to photons, and massive slow moving particles.  With the early LHC data, I pioneered a search for particles that become stuck in the detector and decay ...
