In this Letter a search is performed at the ATLAS experiment for slow-moving charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy at the LHC, using a data-set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb(-1). No deviations from Standard Model expectations are found. This result is interpreted in a framework of supersymmetry models in which coloured sparticles can hadronise into long-lived bound hadronic states, termed R-hadrons, and 95{\%} CL limits are set on the production cross-sections of squarks and gluinos. The influence of R-hadron interactions in matter was studied using a number of different models, and lower mass limits for stable sbottoms and stops are found to be 294 and 309 GeV respectively. The lower mass limit for a stable gluino lies in the range from 562 to 586 GeV depending on the model assumed. Each of these constraints is the most stringent to date.", optnote="WOS:000292719700001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=703), last updated on Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:21:27 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2011.05.010", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1103.1984", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2011.05.010", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1103.1984", language="English" }
