Search for heavy long-lived charged particles with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV

A search for long-lived charged particles reaching the muon spectrometer is performed using a data sample of 37 pb[superscript −1] from pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010. No excess is observed above the estimated background. Stable [~ over τ] sleptons are...

520 |a A search for long-lived charged particles reaching the muon spectrometer is performed using a data sample of 37 pb[superscript −1] from pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010. No excess is observed above the estimated background. Stable [~ over τ] sleptons are excluded at 95% CL up to a mass of 136 GeV, in GMSB models with N[subscript 5] = 3, mmessenger = 250 TeV, sign(μ) = 1 and tanβ = 5. Electroweak production of sleptons is excluded up to a mass of 110 GeV. Gluino R-hadrons in a generic interaction model are excluded up to masses of 530 GeV to 544 GeV depending on the fraction of R-hadrons produced as [~ over g]-balls.
