We would like to thank the CMS Collaboration and especially the CMS Exotica group, where part of this work was presented in 2021, for their positive feedback. C. W. and S. X. are partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics, under Award No. DE-SC0011925. This work has been discussed in the relevant Snowmass community study subgroups in 2022 and is part of C. W.'s PhD thesis along with additional reinterpretation studies based solely on CMS published results and Delphes public codes [34,52,59]. C. W., C. P., and S. X. are grateful to the organizers and participants of the "New ideas in detecting long-lived particles at the LHC" workshop at LBNL in the Summer of 2018 where experimentalists and theorists gathered to generate new ideas on triggers and analysis strategies for long-lived particles searches at the LHC [127] as well as the Fermilab LPC LLP group.
