abstract = {This Letter presents a search for heavy charged long-lived
particles produced in proton–proton collisions at s=13TeV
at the LHC using a data sample corresponding to an
integrated luminosity of 36.1fb−1 collected by the ATLAS
experiment in 2015 and 2016. These particles are expected to
travel with a velocity significantly below the speed of
light, and therefore have a specific ionisation higher than
any high-momentum Standard Model particle of unit charge.
The pixel subsystem of the ATLAS detector is used in this
search to measure the ionisation energy loss of all
reconstructed charged particles which traverse the pixel
detector. Results are interpreted assuming the pair
production of R -hadrons as composite colourless states of a
long-lived gluino and Standard Model partons. No significant
deviation from Standard Model background expectations is
observed, and lifetime-dependent upper limits on R -hadron
production cross-sections and gluino masses are set,
assuming the gluino always decays to two quarks and a 100
GeV stable neutralino. R -hadrons with lifetimes above 1.0
ns are excluded at the $95\%$ confidence level, with lower
limits on the gluino mass ranging between 1290 GeV and 2060
GeV. In the case of stable R -hadrons, the lower limit on
the gluino mass at the $95\%$ confidence level is 1890 GeV.},
