To the surprise of many physicists, no beyond Standard Model particles have been discovered so
far at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Hence, the search efforts for physics beyond the Standard
Model have to be significantly broadened and extended also towards smaller experiments.
In this short review, selected results from the commissioning and prototype development of multiple
new small-scale experiments at the LHC are presented.
The focus is set on the latest results from the FASER experiment, as well as a short overview of
the progress of the SND@LHC, MATHUSLA and milliQan experiments.

Abstract The semiconductor tracker (SCT) is one of the tracking systems for charged particles in the ATLAS detector. It consists of 4088 silicon strip sensor modules.During Run 2 (2015–2018) the Large Hadron Collider delivered an integrated luminosity of 156 fb -1 to the ATLAS experiment at a centre-of-mass proton-proton collision energy of 13 TeV. The instantaneous luminosity and pile-up conditions were far in excess of those assumed in the original design of the SCT detector.Due to improvements to the data acquisition system, the SCT operated stably throughout Run 2.It was available for 99.9% of the integrated luminosity and achieved a data-quality efficiency of 99.85%.Detailed studies have been made of the leakage current in SCT modules and the evolution of the full depletion voltage, which are used to study the impact of radiation damage to the modules.more » « less
