The proposed subsystem is called FACET for ForwardAperture CMS ExTension, and will be sensitive to any particles that can penetrate at least 50 m of magnetized iron and decay in an 18 m long, 1 m diameter vacuum pipe. The decay products will be measured in detectors using identical technology to the planned CMS Phase-2 upgrade.\n\nKeywords: Beyond Standard Model, Exotics, Hadron-Hadron Scattering, Dark Matter, Particle and Resonance Production\n\n# Contents\n\n1 Introduction 1\n\n2 FACET as a New Subsystem of CMS 3\n\n3 Sensitivity to Long-Lived Particles 5\n\n3.1 Dark Photons \n3.2 Heavy Neutral Leptons \n3.3 Axion-Like Particles \n3.4 Dark Higgs Bosons 9\n\n4 Triggers 10\n\n5 Backgrounds 11\n\n6 Summary 13\n\n7 Acknowledgments 13\n\n# 1 Introduction\n\nThe existence of long-lived particles (LLPs), i.e., particles with the proper lifetime $c \\tau$ in a macroscopic range, is predicted in many models of physics beyond the standard model (BSM). Generally, LLPs are naturally expected in models with small mass splittings between the adjacent states (e.g., in supersymmetric models) or with suppressed couplings to standard model (SM) particles. In particular, LLPs are often present in particle dark matter (DM) models, where they serve as portals between the DM and SM particles. The existence of DM is well established from astronomical observations and cosmology. It is generally assumed that DM consists of BSM particles . While searches for such particles in the TeV mass range continue at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the possibility that new particle
