This document presents the physics case and ancillary studies for the proposed CODEX-b long-lived particle (LLP) detector, as well as for a smaller proof-of-concept demonstrator detector, CODEX-$beta$, to be operated during Run 3 of the LHC. Our development of the CODEX-b physics case synthesizes `top-down and `bottom-up theoretical approaches, providing a detailed survey of both minimal and complete models featuring LLPs. Several of these models have not been studied previously, and for some others we amend studies from previous literature: In particular, for gluon and fermion-coupled axion-like particles. We moreover present updated simulations of expected backgrounds in CODEX-bs actively shielded environment, including the effects of shielding propagation uncertainties, high-energy tails and variation in the shielding design. Initial results are also included from a background measurement and calibration campaign. A design overview is presented for the CODEX-$beta$ demonstrator detector, which will enable background calibration and detector design studies. Finally, we lay out brief studies of various design drivers of the CODEX-b experiment and potential extensions of the baseline design, including the physics case for a calorimeter element, precision timing, event tagging within LHCb, and precision low-momentum tracking.

There are compelling physics questions to be addressed by a new comprehensive detector at a future, high-luminosity RHIC II collider. These form the basis for this Expression of Interest. What precisely are the properties of the strongly-coupled Quar
k Gluon Plasma (sQGP)? Can a more weakly interacting QGP state be formed and investigated at RHIC? How do particles acquire mass and what is the effect of chiral symmetry restoration on hadronization in a dense medium? What is the chiral structure of the QCD vacuum and its influence on and contributions of different QCD vacuum states to the masses of particles? Is there another phase of matter at low Bjorken-x, i.e. the Color Glass Condensate (CGC)? If present, what are its features and how does it evolve into the QGP? If not, are parton distribution functions understood at low Bjorken-x and can they describe particle production? What are the structure and dynamics inside the proton, including parton spin and orbital angular momentum? What are the contributions of gluons and the QCD sea to the polarization of the proton? What is the flavor-dependence? Are there tests for new physics beyond the Standard Model from spin measurements at RHIC II (such as parity-violating interactions)? We propose that a new comprehensive detector system is needed for RHIC II to address these questions adequately and in an effective way.
We propose an evolution of the Mu2e experiment, called Mu2e-II, that would leverage advances in detector technology and utilize the increased proton intensity provided by the Fermilab PIP-II upgrade to improve the sensitivity for neutrinoless muon-to
-electron conversion by one order of magnitude beyond the Mu2e experiment, providing the deepest probe of charged lepton flavor violation in the foreseeable future. Mu2e-II will use as much of the Mu2e infrastructure as possible, providing, where required, improvements to the Mu2e apparatus to accommodate the increased beam intensity and cope with the accompanying increase in backgrounds.
Neutron tagging in Gadolinium-doped water may play a significant role in reducing backgrounds from atmospheric neutrinos in next generation proton-decay searches using megaton-scale Water Cherenkov detectors. Similar techniques might also be useful i
n the detection of supernova neutrinos. Accurate determination of neutron tagging efficiencies will require a detailed understanding of the number of neutrons produced by neutrino interactions in water as a function of momentum transferred. We propose the Atmospheric Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE), designed to measure the neutron yield of atmospheric neutrino interactions in gadolinium-doped water. An innovative aspect of the ANNIE design is the use of precision timing to localize interaction vertices in the small fiducial volume of the detector. We propose to achieve this by using early production of LAPPDs (Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors). This experiment will be a first application of these devices demonstrating their feasibility for Water Cherenkov neutrino detectors.
DAEdALUS, a Decay-At-rest Experiment for delta_CP studies At the Laboratory for Underground Science, provides a new approach to the search for CP violation in the neutrino sector. The design utilizes low-cost, high-power proton accelerators under dev
elopment for commercial uses. These provide neutrino beams with energy up to 52 MeV from pion and muon decay-at-rest. The experiment searches for aninu_mu to antinu_e at short baselines corresponding to the atmospheric Delta m^2 region. The antinu_e will be detected, via inverse beta decay, in the 300 kton fiducial-volume Gd-doped water Cherenkov neutrino detector proposed for the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL). DAEdALUS opens new opportunities for DUSEL. It provides a high-statistics, low-background alternative for CP violation searches which matches the capability of the conventional long-baseline neutrino experiment, LBNE. Because of the complementary designs, when DAEdALUS antineutrino data are combined with LBNE neutrino data, the sensitivity of the CP-violation search improves beyond any present proposals, including the proposal for Project X. Also, the availability of an on-site neutrino beam opens opportunities for additional physics, both for the presently planned DUSEL detectors and for new experiments at a future 300 ft campus.
The Compact Linear Collider, CLIC, is a multi-TeV electron-positron collider proposed for construction at CERN. A detector model, CLICdet, that is suited for the experimental conditions at CLIC and is based on realistic performance, has been develope
d. This paper describes the implementation of CLICdet in a fast simulation tool for particle physics collider experiments, DELPHES. The geometry of the detector concept as well as performance parameters extracted from full simulation studies are implemented in DELPHES parameter cards for CLICdet. Jet reconstruction for electron-positron colliders is added to the DELPHES analysis chain. Parameters for using DELPHES to simulate the detector effects of CLICdet are provided in three parameter cards, one for each energy stage of CLIC. The effects of beam-induced background at the higher-energy stages of CLIC are also incorporated. The results from the fast simulation with DELPHES are validated with respect to full detector simulation in a number of relevant processes.
