We review the theoretical motivations and experimental status of searches for stable
massive particles (SMPs) which could be sufficiently long-lived as to be directly detected at …

In this review we discuss the important progress made in recent years towards
understanding the experimental data on cosmic rays with energies≳ 1019 eV. We begin …

The principal aim of the MoEDAL (Monopole and Exotics Detector at the LHC) project is to
directly search for the Magnetic Monopole and other highly ionizing Stable (or pseudo …

Many extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of charged heavy long-lived
particles, such as R-hadrons or charginos. These particles, if produced at the Large Hadron …

We study the double-diffractive production of various heavy systems (eg Higgs, dijet, t̄t and
SUSY particles) at LHC and Tevatron collider energies. In each case we compute the …

We present the minimal supersymmetric standard model with general broken R parity,
focusing on minimal supergravity (MSUGRA). We discuss the origins of lepton number …

We examine the experimental signatures for the production of gluinos at colliders and in
cosmic rays within the split supersymmetry scenario. Unlike in the MSSM, the gluinos in this …

In this article, we study the interactions of stable, hadronising new states, arising in certain
extensions of the standard model. A simple model, originally intended for stable gluino …

The result of a search for heavy long-lived charged particles produced in pp collisions at s=
7 TeV at the LHC is described. The data sample has been collected using the CMS detector …

The measured densities of dark and baryonic matter are surprisingly close to each other,
even though the baryon asymmetry and the dark matter are usually explained by unrelated …
