Feebly interacting particles

Light and weak interactions seem to be independent conditions, is this theoretically motivated ? Many UV theories predict new heavy states with sizeable couplings to the SM. New light states with sizeable couplings are largely ruled out.

Off-shell decays

Apart from small couplings, very off-shell propagators can result in suppressed width and therefore long-lived particles

The B meson is not light with respect to its decay products, but the off-shell decay and the boost factor lead to a displaced vertex. b

Conclusions

New, feebly interacting particles with decay length between microscopic and astrophysical decay length are poorly constrained. Goldstone bosons and new gauge bosons are well- motivated to be weakly coupled and light. Search strategies range from LHC searches (displaced vertices, exotic Higgs/Z decays), new detectors, excited meson decays (LHCb), muon decays (Mu3e), etc.
