Search for long-lived stopped R-hadrons decaying out of time with pp collisions using the ATLAS detector

An updated search is performed for gluino, top squark, or bottom squark R-hadrons that have come to rest within the ATLAS calorimeter, and decay at some later time to hadronic jets and a neutralino, using 5.0 and 22:9 fb -1 of pp collisions at 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. Candidate decay events are tr...
