## TL;DR

This paper explores how disordered systems with many degrees of freedom can influence particle physics, particularly at colliders, revealing potential hidden signals in complex final states that current searches might miss.

## Contribution

It introduces a framework for analyzing disordered mass matrices in particle physics and applies it to collider scenarios, highlighting new signatures at the LHC and HL-LHC.

## Key findings

- Collider events with many soft b-quark jets are common in these models.
- Such events can evade current LHC searches due to their complexity.
- Lowering trigger thresholds can improve detection of these hidden signals.

## Abstract

We discuss how systems with a large number of degrees of freedom and disorder in their mass matrix can play a role in particle physics. We derive results on their mass spectra using, where applicable, QFT techniques. We study concrete realizations of these scenarios in the context of the LHC and HL-LHC, showing that collider events with a large number of soft b-quark jets can be common. Such final states can hide these models from current searches at the LHC. This motivates the ongoing effort aimed at lowering trigger thresholds and expanding data scouting.
