Probing new physics with dedicated data streams at CMS

TL;DR

This paper discusses innovative data collection strategies at CMS, like Data Scouting and Data Parking, which improve sensitivity to diverse new physics signatures at the LHC, leading to strong constraints on low-mass resonances.

Contribution

It introduces and applies dedicated data stream techniques at CMS to enhance detection of non-standard physics signatures, setting new constraints on low-mass resonances.

Findings

Enhanced sensitivity to low-mass resonances achieved.

Strongest constraints to date on prompt and long-lived signatures.

Effective use of Data Scouting and Data Parking strategies.

Abstract

Signatures of new physics at the LHC are varied and, by nature, often very different from those of Standard Model processes. Novel experimental techniques, including dedicated data streams, are exploited to enhance the sensitivity of the CMS Experiment to search for such signatures. This report highlights the CMS results obtained using data collected at the LHC during Run-II and Run-III through the so-called "Data Scouting" and "Data Parking" strategies. These approaches have allowed us to set some of the strongest constraints to date for low-mass resonances in prompt and long-lived signatures.
