Data collected in 2015–2018 at √s = 13 TeV from pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 are examined. Particles producing anomalously high ionization, consistent with long-lived spin-½ massive particles with electric charges from |q| = 2e to |q| = 7e are searched for. No statistically significant evidence of such particles is observed, and 95% confidence level cross-section upper limits are calculated and interpreted as the lower mass limits for a Drell–Yan plus photon-fusion production mode. The least stringent limit, 1060 GeV, is obtained for |q| = 2e particles, and the most stringent one, 1600 GeV, is for |q| = 6e particles.}, organization = {CERN}, organization = {MICINN}, organization = {COST}, organization = {ERC}, organization = {ERDF}, organization = {Horizon 2020}, organization = {Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions}, organization = {La Caixa Banking Foundation}, organization = {CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya}, organization = {PROMETEO and GenT Programmes Generalitat Valenciana}, publisher = {Elsevier}, title = {Search for heavy long-lived multi-charged particles in the full LHC Run 2 pp collision data at √s = 13 TeV using the ATLAS detector}, doi = {10.1016/j.physletb.2023.138316}, author = {Aad, Georges and Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio and Rodríguez Chala, Mikael and Atlas Collaboration, /}, }
