Data collected in 2012 at root s = 8TeV from pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) are examined. Particles producing anomalously high ionisation, consistent with long-livedmassive particleswith electric charges from vertical bar q vertical bar = 2e to vertical bar q vertical bar = 6e are searched for. No signal candidate events are observed, and 95% confidence level crosssection upper limits are interpreted as lower mass limits for a Drell-Yan production model. The mass limits range between 660 and 785 GeV. %R 10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3534-2 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.04188 %U https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3534-2 %P 362 - 23pp
