abstract
We present an extension of the simplified fast detector simulator of MadAnalysis 5 - the SFS framework - with methods making it suitable for the treatment of long-lived particles of any kind. This allows users to make use of intuitive Python commands and straightforward C++ methods to introduce detector effects relevant for long-lived particles, and to implement selection cuts and plots related to their properties. In particular, the impact of the magnetic field inside a typical high-energy physics detector on the trajectories of any charged object can now be easily simulated. As an illustration of the capabilities of this new development, we implement three existing LHC analyses dedicated to long-lived objects, namely a CMS run 2 search for displaced leptons in the $e\mu$ channel (CMS-EXO-16-022), the full run 2 CMS search for disappearing track signatures (CMS-EXO-19-010), and the partial run 2 ATLAS search for displaced vertices featuring a pair of oppositely-charged leptons (ATLAS-SUSY-2017-04). We document the careful validation of all MadAnalysis 5 SFS implementations of these analyses, which are publicly available as entries in the MadAnalysis 5 Public Analysis Database and its associated dataverse.

Direct constraints on the agnostic $\nu$SMEFT from heavy-neutrino searches at the LHC
A recast of CMS same-sign-dimuon data places the first direct bounds on the agnostic νSMEFT, excluding couplings below ~5.8×10⁻⁷ GeV⁻² at m_N≈1.5 TeV.

Deciphering compressed electroweakino excesses with MadAnalysis 5
MadAnalysis 5 v1.11 adds validated recasting of two ATLAS compressed-electroweakino searches and shows that a proposed NMSSM scenario fits the soft-lepton and monojet excesses less well than simpler models.

Recasting the ATLAS search for displaced hadronic jets in the ATLAS calorimeter with additional jets or leptons using surrogate models
An independent check shows ATLAS's surrogate models reproduce official long-lived-particle search efficiencies within about 25% for most benchmark scenarios, with a few factor-of-two outliers.

Vector Boson Fusion Signatures of Superheavy Majorana Neutrinos at Muon Colliders
Future muon colliders could probe heavy Majorana neutrino masses via t-channel vector boson fusion, with projected exclusions in the (mass, mixing) plane from cut-based and BDT analyses.
