description | The CMS detector can be used to search for Heavy Stable Charged Particles (HSCPs)
which might signal physics beyond the Standard Model.
Such particles can be distinguished from Standard Model particles
by exploiting their unique signature: a low velocity, $\beta$, associated
with a high momentum of order a few hundred GeV/c.
In this note four models predicting different types of HSCP are
described and used as benchmarks for a proposed search strategy.
Two techniques to measure $\beta$ of such particles
using the Silicon Tracker and the Barrel Muon Drift Tube
detectors are reviewed, and results based on full simulation of the CMS detector
are presented. These include the expected performance and resolutions
which could be obtained using the first data from CMS at the LHC.
The HSCP mass regions explored for integrated luminosities of
$100$~pb$^{-1}$ and $1$~fb$^{-1}$ are shown. |
