PY - 2011 DA - 2011// TI - Search for massive long-lived highly ionising particles with the ATLAS detector at the LHC T2 - Phys. Lett. B JO - Physics Letters B SP - 353 EP - 370 VL - 698 IS - 5 PB - Elsevier Science Bv KW - High-energy collider experiment KW - Long-lived particle KW - Highly ionising KW - New physics AB - A search is made for massive highly ionising particles with lifetimes in excess of 100 ns, with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, using 3.1 pb(-1) of pp collision data taken at root s = 7 TeV. The signature of energy loss in the ATLAS inner detector and electromagnetic calorimeter is used. No such particles are found and limits on the production cross section for electric charges 6e <= vertical bar q vertical bar <= 17e and masses 200 GeV <= m <= 1000 GeV are set in the range 1-12 pb for different hypotheses on the production mechanism.
