Title: | Searches for heavy long-lived charged particles with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 Tev | Authors: | Santos, S. P. Amor dos Carvalho, J. Fiolhais, M. C. N. Galhardo, B. Veloso, F. Wolters, H. ATLAS Collaboration |
Keywords: | Hadron-Hadron Scattering | Issue Date: | 2015 | Publisher: | Springer Nature | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of High Energy Physics | Volume: | 2015 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | Searches for heavy long-lived charged particles are performed using a data sample of 19.1 fb−1 from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=8$$ \sqrt{s}=8 $$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess is observed above the estimated background and limits are placed on the mass of long-lived particles in various supersymmetric models. Long-lived tau sleptons in models with gauge-mediated symmetry breaking are excluded up to masses between 440 and 385 GeV for tan β between 10 and 50, with a 290 GeV limit in the case where only direct tau slepton production is considered. In the context of simplified LeptoSUSY models, where sleptons are stable and have a mass of 300 GeV, squark and gluino masses are excluded up to a mass of 1500 and 1360 GeV, respectively. Directly produced charginos, in simplified models where they are nearly degenerate to the lightest neutralino, are excluded up to a mass of 620 GeV. R-hadrons, composites containing a gluino, bottom squark or top squark, are excluded up to a mass of 1270, 845 and 900 GeV, respectively, using the full detector; and up to a mass of 1260, 835 and 870 GeV using an approach disregarding information from the muon spectrometer. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/109196 | DOI: | 10.1007/JHEP01(2015)068 | Rights: | openAccess |
