abstract

The quirk particle carries Lorentz force and long-range infracolor force, while suffers relatively large ionization energy loss inside the detector. It can be indirectly constrained by mono-jet search or directly search through co-planar hits if the confinement scale is not too low ($\Lambda \gtrsim 100$ eV). Considering the ionization energy loss inside tracker, we improve the co-planar search. We also will solve the equation of motion for quirks numerically by including all of the important contributions. Based on our selection strategy, the $\sim 100$ fb$^{-1}$ dataset at the LHC will be able to probe the colored fermion/scalar quirks with masses up to {2.1/1.1 TeV}, and the color neutral fermion/scalar quirks with masses up to {450/150 GeV}, respectively.

  1. First Search for Quirks at the LHC with FASER

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    FASER's first search for quirks found no candidates and excluded quirk masses up to ~179 GeV for infracolor confinement scales between 300 eV and 100 keV.

  2. Searching for Quirks at LHCb

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A proposed LHCb VELO search for back-to-back, planar hit patterns could make LHCb the first experiment sensitive to quirks with hidden confinement scale around 1000 eV.
