Several models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict neutral particles
that decay into final states consisting of collimated jets of light leptons and hadrons (socalled “lepton jets”). These particles can also be long-lived with decay length comparable
to, or even larger than, the LHC detectors’ linear dimensions. This paper presents the
results of a search for lepton jets in proton-proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energy
of √s = 8 TeV in a sample of 20.3 fb−1 collected during 2012 with the ATLAS detector at
the LHC. Limits on models predicting Higgs boson decays to neutral long-lived lepton jets
are derived as a function of the particle’s proper decay length.
