Sumario: | The search for new physics with long-lived particles is an ongoing and thriving effort in the High Energy Physics community which necessitates new search strategies such as novel algorithms, novel detectors, etc...For these reasons, one could perhaps add another frontier, the Lifetime Frontier, to the standard three (Energy, Intensity and Cosmic). In this talk, I will describe a BSM physics model whose characteristic signatures are decays of new (mirror) fermions at displaced vertices, a domain belonging to the Lifetime Frontier. It is a model of {\em non-sterile} right-handed neutrinos whose masses are proportional to the electroweak scale $\Lambda_{EW} \sim 246 \, GeV$. The model proposed a solution to the strong CP problem with a surprising connection between the sizes of the neutrino masses and the $\theta$-angle which contributes to the neutron electric dipole moment. |
