Search for disappearing tracks in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

Search for disappearing tracks in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

A search is presented for long-lived charged particles that decay within the CMS detector and produce the signature of a disappearing track. Disappearing tracks are identified as those with little or no associated calorimeter energy deposits and with missing hits in the outer layers of the tracker....
