With the LHC we hope to unravel the deepest secrets of reality: What is everything made of, what holds it together, do we understand the nature of matter at all? The subject of the defines is a search for new long-lived particles that could point to an explanation of what the dark matter in the universe is. If discovered these long-lived particles would break with 40 years of canonical physics, as the Standard Model of Particle physics would fail to explain its existence, something that would require Supersymmetry, extra spatial dimensions or even more exotic theories.

In addition to this search, another type of long-lived particles, magnetic monopoles will be introduced. If monopoles are produced at the LHC they can be found stuck to the beam-pipe circulating the colliding particles.

Last, new techniques for the future low-energy neutrino experiment PINGU will be presented. PINGU will be an upgrade to the larger 1 cubic kilometre IceCube detector at the South Pole.
