abstract

We study FASER and FASER 2 sensitivities to the quirk signal by simulating the motions of quirks that are travelling through several infrastructures from the ATLAS interaction point to the FASER (2) detector. The ionization energy losses for a charged quirk travelling in different materials are treated carefully. We calculate the expected numbers of quirk events that can reach the FASER (2) detector for an integrated luminosity of 150 (3000) fb$^{-1}$. Scenarios for quirks with four different quantum numbers, and different masses and confinement scales are studied.

  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.
