abstract
A search for heavy, long-lived, charged particles with large ionization energy loss within the silicon tracker of the CMS experiment is presented. A data set of proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, collected in 2017 and 2018 at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101 fb$^{-1}$, is used in this analysis. Two different approaches for the search are taken. A new method exploits the independence of the silicon pixel and strips measurements, while the second method improves on previous techniques using ionization to determine a mass selection. No significant excess of events above the background expectation is observed. The results are interpreted in the context of the pair production of supersymmetric particles, namely gluinos, top squarks, and tau sleptons, and of the Drell-Yan pair production of fourth generation ($\tau'$) leptons with an electric charge equal to or twice the absolute value of the electron charge ($e$). An interpretation of a Z$'$ boson decaying to two $\tau'$ leptons with an electric charge equal to 2$e$ is presented for the first time. The 95% confidence upper limits on the production cross section are extracted for each of these hypothetical particles.

Complete Light Long-Lived Particles searches in Type-I 2HDM
In the Type-I 2HDM, light long-lived Higgs particles are forced into a narrow relation between mixing angle and tanβ, and FASER2 could probe the benchmark regions about a hundred times better than FASER.
