Description
The performance of the ALICE detector in searches for new heavy stable charged particles in pp collisions is discussed in this paper. Gluino R-hadron was chosen as an example of a candidate, and cross sections and kinematic properties were obtained from PYTHIA simulations for various gluino masses (100-500 GeV/c2). Detector response simulations for R-hadrons in the TPC acceptance (|η|<1) were performed for 100 GeV/c2 R-hadron mass.
