Abstract
We performed a signature-based search for long-lived charged massive particles produced in of collisions at , collected with the CDF II detector using a high transverse-momentum () muon trigger. The search used time of flight to isolate slowly moving, high- particles. One event passed our selection cuts with an expected background of events. We set an upper bound on the production cross section and, interpreting this result within the context of a stable scalar top-quark model, set a lower limit on the particle mass of at 95% C.L.
