Description

ATLAS detector's Liquid Argon electromagnetic calorimeter is capable of precisely measuring photon's timing and pointing. This allows us to uniquely probe physics beyond the standard model that involves neutral long-lived particles that decay into photons. In this presentation, I will describe how ATLAS measures photon pointing and timing, summarize the results from Run 1 analysis and shed a light on the on-going Run 2 analysis.
