The LHCb detector at the LHC is designed for indirect searches for physics beyond the Standard Model by the precise study of heavy hadron decays, but it has a great potential also in direct searches of new light states below the electroweak scale. Its excellent sensitivity has been recently demonstrated with a set of searches for light dimuon resonances (such as dark photons) and for displaced vertices due to particles with a significantly long lifetime.

Abstract
The LHCb detector at the LHC is designed for indirect searches for physics beyond the Standard Model by the precise study of heavy hadron decays, but it has a great potential also in direct searches of new light states below the electroweak scale. Its excellent sensitivity has been recently demonstrated with a set of searches for light dimuon resonances (such as dark photons) and for displaced vertices due to particles with a significantly long lifetime.
