Interactions of R-hadrons in ATLAS

In this talk the detection possibilities of R-hadrons in the ATLAS detector are studied. R-hadrons are stable hadronized gluinos, predicted by certain supersymmetric models. Making use of fully simulated R-hadrons, signatures of single R-hadrons in the ATLAS subdetector are studied, and triggering issues are addressed. Fast simulation is used to study the discovery potential. The abundant production of R-hadrons at the LHC, will allow a quick discovery for a broad range of masses.
