Emerging Jets
abstract
I will describe a collider object we have termed emerging jets. These
can arise when there is a confining dark sector connected to the
Standard Model by a TeV scale mediator, a scenario that is well
motivated by dark matter or naturalness considerations. The signature
of an emerging jet is O(10) displaced vertices inside the jet each
with different impact parameter, and a small number of prompt tracks.
I will describe strategies that can be used to discover emerging jets
even if they have very small cross sections, and describe the
experimental searches that have been attempted to search for them. I
will also describe some new trigger possibilities that can improve
sensitivity to emerging jets with relatively low energy.
