CODEX-b Experiment

proposed particle physics experiment @CERN, near @LHCbExperiment. looking for exotic long-lived particles and new collaboration members!

What is CODEX-b? A 🧵 1/

[CODEX-b Experiment @CodexExperiment]

Ever wonder how we assemble our detectors at @CERN? One option is with a crane! Here is how we lowered an RPC triplet for the CODEX-beta detector into the LHCb cavern, 100m below ground. Thanks so much, @LHCbExperiment, for letting us borrow your crane! Video from @emrodrig98

@emrodrig98 And here is the frame arriving at its final destination in the D1 barracks, ready to be installed, with Titus Mombächer. Congrats to the whole team on this important milestone!

The CODEX-beta installation is finally underway! Our first out of 14 detector frames was fully assembled and is seen here with part of the assembly team. From left to right: Jake Pfaller, Silviu Dobrescu, Michael Peters, and Emilio Xosé Rodríguez Fernández @emrodrig98 .

Job alert! Looking for a postdoc? Apply in April here: https://t.co/HZseUtb06M This would be a great way to come work on CODEX-b!

Congratulations Saúl on your PhD defense @IGFAE_HEP ! As @particulasGZ said, one of the first theses on @CodexExperiment ! Thanks for inviting me to chair the defense committee!

[Xabier Cid Vidal 🛰️ @particulasGZ]

Moi orgullosos de Saul! Very proud of Saul, one of the first theses involving the @CodexExperiment !

👨‍🎓 Saúl López Soliño defendeu este venres a tese "Novos enfoques para a procura directa de Física alén do Modelo Estándar con @CodexExperiment e @LHCbExperiment", dirixida por Xabier Cid e Carlos Vázquez.

O tribunal outorgoulle o sobresaliente polo seu traballo.

Parabéns! 👏

CODEX-beta has reached a significant milestone!!!! We have built and tested ALL of our RPCs for the CODEX-beta demonstrator! The photo shows Michael Peters, a grad student at @uofcincy and a major contributor to this work, posing with the CODEX-beta RPCs.

🗣️ Our colleague Emilio Xosé Rodríguez participated this Thursday in the International Conference on High Energy Physics #ICHEP2024, in Prague 🇨🇿, with a talk about the #CODEXb detector project at @CERN @LHCbExperiment.

Great job! 👏

[Xabier Cid Vidal 🛰️ @particulasGZ]

Very proud to have @emrodrig98 presenting, for the first time, the status of @CodexExperiment at #ichep2024 !

[CODEX-b Experiment @CodexExperiment]

We're excited to present the TDR of our CODEX-beta demonstrator, now on arXiv! https://t.co/7J500dlBzA

[CODEX-b Experiment @CodexExperiment]

@particleist @1cRebeca Thanks to everyone for joining! Looking forward to the rest of the RPC assembly and hopefully taking data next year!

[CODEX-b Experiment @CodexExperiment]

Last week, the CODEX-b collaboration had a week-long collaboration meeting to take stock of our progress and plan our next steps. @AlimenaJuliette @CharlesTheVS @particulasGZ

[CODEX-b Experiment @CodexExperiment]

@particleist @1cRebeca We also had a lot of fun, with a group dinner, a BBQ at point 8, and a visit to the RPC assembly site in Prevessin. #grillmaster #spokesperson

[CODEX-b Experiment @CodexExperiment]

Hooray! We’re happy to announce that the CODEX-beta demonstrator has been approved as a time-limited LHCb R&D project!

Particle theory faculty position opening at ELTE, including flavor/dark sector related to LHCb/CODEX-b!

[Xabier Cid Vidal 🛰️ @particulasGZ]

Have a look at the thread! A lot to do with what we do at @IGFAE_HEP with @CodexExperiment and @LHCbPhysics experiments!

[Martin Bauer @martinmbauer]

What are long-lived particles and why do physicists look for them at colliders?

We've assembled our CX1 frame! Step 1 of building the detector :)
