DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Josu Hernandez (IFIC-UV)\nThe lack of observation of
  experimental signals pointing to the existence of physics beyond the Stan
 dard Model (SM) suggests that the coupling between SM particles and hidden
  sectors is likely small. This suppression leads to relatively long lifeti
 mes for BSM particles when their masses lie within the MeV–GeV range. In
  this talk\, the regime of long-lived particles (LLPs) is considered\, mot
 ivated by their potential to serve as portals to hidden sectors that addre
 ss different open problems of the SM. \nRecent studies indicate that Liqui
 d Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPC) \, as the prototype of DUNE far 
 detectors (ProtoDUNE) installed at CERN\, have the potential to detect lon
 g-lived BSM particles from one of the targets in CERN’s North Area expos
 ed to the 400 GeV SPS beam. A key demonstration lies in observing SM neutr
 inos—well-known weakly interacting particles. Feasibility studies are on
 going with a test carried out using one of the ProtoDUNE detectors that ai
 med at demonstrating the potential of these detectors for BSM searches. In
  this talk\, the status of our analysis and our plans for future BSM prosp
 ects will be highlighted.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/8035/contribu
