On The Possible Detection Of Massive Stable Exotic Particles At The LHC

Abstract

The possible detection of massive quasi-stable exotic particles at the high luminosity hadronic colliders is discussed. In the coming ten years the LHC, now under preparation, has the best opportunity to observe them at the TeV scale. The present design of the ATLAS detector,that has been almost irreversibly decided, may turn out to be flexible enough to allow the detection of this interesting class of exotic particles. The trigger acceptance, the track reconstruction and the particle identification are studied. The necessity of a good measurement of the ionization loss in the muon sector of the detectors is recommended.
