DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Juan Salvador Tafoya Vargas (UC Davis)\n\nThe search
  for millicharged particles (mCPs)\, which naturally arise in many Dark Se
 ctor models offering potential Dark Matter candidates\, provides a unique 
 opportunity to probe extensions of the Standard Model (SM). \nThe MilliQa
 n experiment is an ongoing search for mCPs located just above the CMS expe
 riment at the LHC and leverages this proximity along shielding from most S
 M backgrounds to gain sensitivity to mCPs in the mass range of 0.01 - 45 G
 eV\, while having sensitivity to charges as low as 0.003e. Similar concept
 s deployed in different locations provide complementary reach: the FORMOSA
  detector in the ATLAS forward region enhances sensitivity to low-mass/low
 -charge mCPs\, while the SUBMET experiment at J-PARC extends coverage to t
 he extremely low-charge regime using beam-dump data.\nThis seminar will pr
 esent the first MilliQan results\, recently published from an integrated l
 uminosity of 127 fb−1 of Run 3 data. It will also highlight recent commi
 ssioning studies\, projections for the full Run 3 dataset\, and the latest
  status of the FORMOSA and SUBMET searches.\n\nhttps://indico.ijclab.in2p3
