# Turning the LHC Ring into a New Physics Search Machine

## TL;DR

This paper proposes transforming the LHC ring into an automated, multi-phase search platform for new physics, utilizing existing systems and extending capabilities for real-time detection of novel phenomena.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel multi-phase plan to repurpose the LHC ring as an automatic search engine for new physics, integrating existing and extended detection systems.

## Key findings

- Feasibility of using BLM system for CEP particle searches
- Potential to turn LHC into a gravitational wave detector
- Development of an integrated real-time event tagging system

## Abstract

The LHC Collider Ring is proposed to be turned into an ultimate automatic search engine for new physics in four consecutive phases: (1) Searches for heavy particles produced in Central Exclusive Process (CEP): pp -> p + X + p based on the existing Beam Loss Monitoring (BLM) system of the LHC; (2) Feasibility study of using the LHC Ring as a gravitation wave antenna; (3) Extensions to the current BLM system to facilitate precise registration of the selected CEP proton exit points from the LHC beam vacuum chamber; (4) Integration of the BLM based event tagging system together with the trigger/data acquisition systems of the LHC experiments to facilitate an on-line automatic search machine for the physics of tomorrow.
