@misc{10481/76518, year = {2022}, month = {7}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/76518}, abstract = {A search for long-lived charginos produced either directly or in the cascade decay of heavy prompt gluino states is presented. The search is based on proton– proton collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of √ s = 13 TeV between 2015 and 2018 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 136 fb−1. Long-lived charginos are characterised by a distinct signature of a short and then disappearing track, and are reconstructed using at least four measurements in the ATLAS pixel detector, with no subsequent measurements in the silicon-microstrip tracking volume nor any associated energy deposits in the calorimeter. The final state is complemented by a large missing transverse-momentum requirement for triggering purposes and at least one high-transversemomentum jet. No excess above the expected backgrounds is observed. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the masses of the chargino and gluino for different chargino lifetimes.Chargino masses up to 660 (210)GeVare excluded in scenarios where the chargino is a pure wino (higgsino). For charginos produced during the cascade decay of a heavy gluino, gluinos with masses below 2.1 TeV are excluded for a chargino mass of 300 GeV and a lifetime of 0.2 ns.}, organization = {ANPCyT, Argentina}, organization = {YerPhI, Armenia}, organization = {ARC, Australia}, organization = {BMWFWandFWF,Austria}, organization = {ANAS, Azerbaijan}, organization = {SSTC, Belarus}, organization = {CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil}, organization = {NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada}, organization = {CERN; ANID, Chile}, organization = {CAS, MOST and NSFC, China}, organization = {Minciencias, Colombia}, organization = {MSMT CR,MPOCR and VSC CR, Czech Republic}, organization = {DNRF and DNSRC, Denmark}, organization = {IN2P3-CNRS and CEA-DRF/IRFU, France}, organization = {SRNSFG, Georgia}, organization = {BMBF, HGF andMPG,Germany}, organization = {GSRI, Greece}, organization = {RGC and HongKong SAR, China}, organization = {ISF and Benoziyo Center, Israel}, organization = {INFN, Italy}, organization = {MEXT and JSPS, Japan}, organization = {CNRST, Morocco}, organization = {NWO, Netherlands}, organization = {RCN, Norway}, organization = {MEiN, Poland}, organization = {FCT, Portugal}, organization = {MNE/IFA, Romania}, organization = {JINR}, organization = {MES of Russia and NRC KI, Russian Federation}, organization = {MESTD, Serbia}, organization = {MSSR, Slovakia}, organization = {ARRS and MIZŠ, Slovenia}, organization = {DSI/NRF, South Africa}, organization = {MICINN, Spain}, organization = {SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden}, organization = {SERI, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland}, organization = {MOST, Taiwan}, organization = {TAEK, Turkey}, organization = {STFC, UK}, organization = {DOE andNSF,USA}, organization = {BCKDF, CANARIE, Compute Canada and CRC, Canada}, organization = {COST, ERC, ERDF, Horizon 2020 and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, European Union}, organization = {Investissements d’Avenir Labex, Investissements d’Avenir Idex and ANR, France}, organization = {DFG and AvH Foundation, Germany}, organization = {Herakleitos, Thales and Aristeia programmes co-financed by EU-ESF and the Greek NSRF, Greece}, organization = {BSFNSF and GIF, Israel}, organization = {Norwegian FinancialMechanism 2014-2021, Norway}, organization = {NCNandNAWA, Poland}, organization = {La Caixa Banking Foundation, CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya and PROMETEO and GenT Programmes Generalitat Valenciana, Spain}, organization = {Göran Gustafssons Stiftelse, Sweden}, organization = {The Royal Society and Leverhulme Trust, UK}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {Search for long-lived charginos based on a disappearing-track signature using 136 fb−1 of pp collisions at √ s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector}, doi = {10.1140/epjc/s10052-022-10489-5}, author = {Aad, G. and Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio and Rodríguez Chala, Mikael and Atlas Collaboration}, }
