abstract
A search for heavy long-lived multi-charged particles is performed using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Data collected in 2012 at $\sqrt{s}$=8 TeV from $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $20.3$ fb$^{-1}$ are examined. Particles producing anomalously high ionisation, consistent with long-lived massive particles with electric charges from $|q|=2e$ to $|q|=6e$ are searched for. No signal candidate events are observed, and 95\% confidence level cross-section upper limits are interpreted as lower mass limits for a Drell--Yan production model. The mass limits range between 660 and 785 GeV.

Impact of resummation on the production and experimental bounds of scalar high-electric-charge objects
For scalar HECOs, a Dyson-Schwinger resummation raises predicted LHC production cross sections and strengthens 95% CL mass bounds by up to about 30% compared with tree-level estimates.
