abstract

This paper presents a search for hypothetical massive, charged, long-lived particles with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. These particles are expected to move significantly slower than the speed of light and should be identifiable by their high transverse momenta and anomalously large specific ionisation losses, ${\mathrm{d}}E/\mathrm{d}x$. Trajectories reconstructed solely by the inner tracking system and a ${\mathrm{d}}E/\mathrm{d}x$ measurement in the pixel detector layers provide sensitivity to particles with lifetimes down to ${\cal O}(1)$ $\text{ns}$ with a mass, measured using the Bethe--Bloch relation, ranging from 100 GeV to 3 TeV. Interpretations for pair-production of $R$-hadrons, charginos and staus in scenarios of supersymmetry compatible with these particles being long-lived are presented, with mass limits extending considerably beyond those from previous searches in broad ranges of lifetime.

  1. Defect-Mediated Conversion: Dark Matter from Cosmological Domain-Wall Scattering

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Domain-wall cores containing a scalar condensate convert bath fermions into dark fermions, producing the observed dark matter relic abundance and dominating the yield over freeze-in by 30 to 100 times.

  2. Searching for heavy charged relics in the Earth

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Galactic CHAMPs of mass 1–10^{12} TeV can be discovered by mining their accumulation in monitored water/ice and ancient rocks, enriching via gravity or centrifuges, and identifying them with mass spectrometry down to ...

  3. Search for heavy long-lived charged particles with level-1 trigger scouting data from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-01 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A triggerless CMS dataset yields first low-speed heavy charged particle limits, excluding fiducial cross sections down to 3.5 fb.

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Type-I 2HDM, light long-lived Higgs particles are forced into a narrow relation between mixing angle and tanβ, and FASER2 could probe the benchmark regions about a hundred times better than FASER.

  5. Emerging Photon Jets in the Hadronic Calorimeter: A Novel Signature of Neutral Long-Lived Particles at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-04 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new 'emerging photon jet' signature in the hadronic calorimeter could make neutral long-lived particles decaying to photons visible at the HL-LHC.

  6. Fermion-Portal Dark Matter at a High-Energy Muon Collider

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At a 10 TeV muon collider, fermion-portal dark matter mediators could be discovered up to about 4.7 TeV, and including the muon parton distribution in simulations lowers the predicted reach and changes signal shapes.

  7. Inverse Weak measurement in SERF magnetometer

    physics.ins-det 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A SERF magnetometer with inverse weak measurement readout is claimed to reach 182.8 femtotesla per root hertz and improve long-term stability by one to two orders of magnitude.
