WTF is a CHAMP
• Long-Lived Charged Massive Particle
• Massive Metastable Charged Particle
• Heavy Stable Charged Particle
• Charged Massive Stable Particles

Experimentalist definition
Summary: charged shit that makes it out of the collider before decaying

WTF is a CHAMP
• Approximately conserved quantum numbere.g. electron, proton
• Suppressed effective couplinge.g. muon (e.g. !"e#... man, I hate that process)
• Suppressed phase spacee.g. neutron (I know: not charged, STFU)
5
Standard Model examples

WTF is a CHAMP
• GMSB: gravitino LSP, so NLSP may be chargede.g. third-generation sfermion (stau)
• AMSB: with M2 « M1 « M3, small splitting between $+ and $0
• Focus point CMSSM: M1,2 » !, degenerate Higgsino LSP and Higgsino-lke NLSP
• Split-SUSY: very large squark massmetastable gluino
6
Theorist’s definition
/19Flip Tanedo, No CHAMPS at DØ
WTF is a CHAMP
• Only consider electric charge
• Colored charges are a different story (R-hadron)
• Also assume CHAMPs are pair producedi.e. ignore cascade decays (for simplicity)
7
Collider definition
Let’s make some simplifying assumptions
Pair production: LEP gives a model-independent-ish M > 100 GeV bound from Z "(CHAMP)2

WTF is a CHAMP
• Muon chamber hit with associated ECAL tracks
1. Large invariant mass (& high pT)
2. Slow velocity (time of flight measurement)
8
Collider definition
Time of flight? We can measure that?
Signature looks just like a heavy muon

The Muon System

Different times of flight for particles at different polar angles are compensated for by varying cable lengths since the front-end electronics do not allow such timing adjustments.

Cuts and BG• 2 “muons” with pT > 20 GeV
• At least one track is ‘collimated’ (ET, pT)Reducible BG: mesons
• Acolinear, outward moving muonsReducible BG: cosmic rays (very bad!)
• Sufficiently close to the beamlineReducible BG: Bs, beam halo, cosmic rays
• Irreducible BG: mismeasurements

Background Simulation
• Randomly combine separate distributions of invariant mass and velocityCentral tracker is independent of muon chamber
• Velocity BG: ‘events’ invariant mass in Z peak: 70 - 110 GeV, passes other cutsThis is why the pair production assumption is useful
• Invariant mass BG: negative velocity events
• Subtle: modeling BG from the data itself. Chosing randomly from separate data sets gives us decorrelated background simulation.

LHC?

Raklev, 0908.0315
In some regions, LHCb might be able to do better due to particle ID. E.g. medium-lived particles that decay inside the detector.

Bethe-Bloch
• Energy loss is almost independent of CHAMP mass
• So we can use the tracking system and treat CHAMP as !
• p measurement in central tracker +% measurement from ! system = m measurement
• But: software assumes %=1, track fit is poor for %<0.75Can treat % as an additional fit parameter, good to %>0.5

CHAMP Cosmology
• Hard to get a viable dark matter CHAMP
• Strong constraints from, e.g, BBN, CMB, ...CHAMP decay injects energetic particles into the plasma, abundance of light elements
• A CHAMP @ LHC would require model building to dilute its early universe density

• Slepton trapping in water tanks Feng hep-ph/0405278 (colliders)Byrne hep-ph/020252 (cosmic rays)
• R-hadrons: CHAMPs + quarksInteractions with nuclei mainly due to quark. Can swap quarks, change electric charge.
