In this paper, we describe the potential of the LHCb experiment to detect Stealth
physics. This refers to dynamics beyond the Standard Model that would elude
searches that focus on energetic objects or precision measurements of known processes.
Stealth signatures include long-lived particles and light resonances that are produced
very rarely or together with overwhelming backgrounds. We will discuss why LHCb
is equipped to discover this kind of physics at the Large Hadron Collider and provide
examples of well-motivated theoretical models that can be probed with great detail
at the experiment.
