Display of an exotic LHC collision event recorded by the CMS detector (details)
Design of the SUBMET detector (millicharged particle search)
We are an experimental high energy physics group in the Physics Department at Korea University and are interested in understanding the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. As experimentalists, we'd like to measure things or confirm whether a certain model exists in nature or not. In particular, we are searching for R-Parity Violating Supersymmetry (SUSY) and Standard Model 4-top production in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Recently, we became interested in using CMS HCAL timing to search for long-lived particles as well. In addition to the fascinating topics in CMS, we search for particles that have a fractional electric charge, e.g., Q=0.1e, 0.01e, etc. A feasibility study has shown that the proposed experiment (SUBMET) can provide the leading sensitivity for the low mass millicharged particles.
