Such particles produce distinctive experimental signatures, but pose a challenge for triggering and reconstruction. In this talk, I will present results for a recent search for long-lived particles with the ATLAS detector, using techniques for reconstructing displaced decays to hadronic jets in the inner tracking detector and muon spectrometer. 3041 Physics Research Building America/New_York public
