description The MoEDAL experiment at CERN is searching for magnetic monopoles, dyons, and other exotic highly ionizing particles. My work during the summer-long studentship concerned a particular model of milli-charged particles and a particular model of staus and gravitinos, the supersymmetric partners of taus and gravitons, respectively. The model used for the milli-charged particles was the MCP model, provided by Ameir Shaa. The model used for the staus was the Gravitino_LSP model, a model I developed using a Mathematica package named FeynRules. The Gravitino_LSP model is based on previously existing SUSY models found in the references. These models were used in MadGraph 5, a Monte Carlo event generator, to generate collision events. These events were then analyzed using scripts I wrote, yielding the acceptance rates of these particles in the detector locations of the future MoEDAL MAPP detector.
