Search for Stopped Gluinos during Beam-off Periods at CMS

Several models of new physics, including split supersymmetry, predict the existence of a heavy particle which is long-lived on timescales of the bunch spacing of the LHC. Such particles may be slowed through $dE/dx$ losses and stop in the volume of the CMS detector before ultimately decaying. We describe a search strategy that employs a special jet trigger to look for energy depositions in the hadronic calorimeter during time periods without $pp$ collisions. We examine the potential for discovery and exclusion of gluinos in split supersymmetry in early running of the LHC.
