Simulation and expected detector performance of fractionally charged particles in ATLAS

Searching for long-lived fractionally charged particles (FCPs) provides a novel opportunity in the exploration for new physics. Many experiments have been carried out to search for evidence of this signature both terrestrially and in space, but no evidence has been observed. This note presents the simulation and detector performance of FCPs in the ATLAS detector for proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV.
