A search for heavy stable charged particles in pp collisions at 13 TeV with the CMS detector

A search for heavy stable charged particles (HSCPs) is performed using data collected in 2017 and 2018 by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector, with proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. HSCPs are particles theorized to have large masses, long lifetimes, and non-zero electric charge, with anomalous dE/dx in the tracker and delayed arrival in the muon system due to their relatively slow speed. I will present strategies for this HSCP analysis including background estimation methods and systematic uncertainties calculations.
