Search for Stopped Gluinos during Beam-off Periods at CMS
Abstract
Several models of new physics, including split supersymmetry, predict the existence of a heavy particle which is long-lived on timescales of the bunch spacing of the LHC. Such particles may be slowed through dE/dx losses and stop in the volume of the CMS detector before ultimately decaying. We describe a search strategy that employs a special jet trigger to look for energy depositions in the hadronic calorimeter during time periods without pp collisions. We examine the potential for discovery and exclusion of gluinos in split supersymmetry in early running of the LHC. )
