Plan B for particle physics: finding long lived particles at CERN

Abstract

This thesis discusses the discovery potential of Intensity

Frontier experiments. As a particular examples of such experiment the SHiP

and MATHUSLA experiments where taken. The reach of these experiments was

studied for the number of specific model of the Beyond Standard Model physics, namely neutrino Minimal Standard Model, Higgs-like scalar, axion-like particles and light dark matter.
