Displaced vertices at colliders, arising from the production and decay of long-lived particles, probe dark matter candidates produced via freeze-in. If one assumes a standard cosmological history, these decays happen inside the detector only if the dark matter is very light because of the relic density constraint. Here, we argue how displaced events could very well point to freeze-in within a non-standard early universe history. Focusing on the cosmology of inflationary reheating, we explore the interplay between the reheating temperature and collider signatures for minimal freeze-in scenarios. Observing displaced events at the LHC would allow to set an upper bound on the reheating temperature and, in general, to gather indirect information on the early history of the universe.

Emerging Photon Jets in the Hadronic Calorimeter: A Novel Signature of Neutral Long-Lived Particles at the LHC
A new 'emerging photon jet' signature in the hadronic calorimeter could make neutral long-lived particles decaying to photons visible at the HL-LHC.

Fermion-Portal Dark Matter at a High-Energy Muon Collider
At a 10 TeV muon collider, fermion-portal dark matter mediators could be discovered up to about 4.7 TeV, and including the muon parton distribution in simulations lowers the predicted reach and changes signal shapes.

Probing low-reheating scenarios with minimal freeze-in dark matter
In the minimal freeze-in dark photon model, low-temperature reheating pushes the required portal coupling to larger values, and the exact curve depends on the equation of state during reheating, widening the reach of ...
