Title: Long-lived particles and their connection with Dark Matter

Abstract: In the last few years, long-lived particles have gained a lot of attention in the particle physics community, since they typically appear in dark sectors that aim to explain the Dark Matter problem. A vast experimental program is undergoing to search for long- lived particles, both at the LHC and in other planned facilities. In this project we aim to study how the properties of such long-lived particles can be used to infer — or put bounds — on the Dark Matter parameter space.
