The \gstrip\ distribution in the FAIL (left) and PASS (right) regions for events passing the event selection and with $55 < \pt < 200\GeV$. The data are represented by black markers. The background predicted by the ionization method is shown in yellow, with the shaded area indicating the scarcely visible background uncertainty. The lower panel displays the pulls, defined as the difference between the data and the estimated background, divided by the associated uncertainty.

Distribution of \ih\ as a function of $p$ for the HSCP candidates passing the preselection. The colored scatter plots highlight the differences between select HSCP models with various masses and charges. For illustrative purposes, observed data are displayed using the gray density distribution, normalized to unit area. The two dashed lines based on Eq.~( \ref{eq:MassFromHarmonicEstimator}) correspond to a particle mass of 557 and 2000\GeV on the left, and 1400 and 3000\GeV on the right. The momentum is measured assuming a charge $1e$.

The \gstrip\ distribution in the FAIL (left) and PASS (right) regions for events passing the event selection and with $\pt > 200\GeV$. The data are represented by black dots. The background predicted by the ionization method is shown in yellow, with the hatched area indicating the background uncertainty. As examples, the blue line shows the 1800\GeV \PSg signal distribution and the red line shows the 557\GeV \stau signal distribution.

Mass spectrum predicted in the signal region defined by $\gstrip > 0.22$ and $\pt > 70\GeV$. The data are represented by black dots. The data-driven background estimate is displayed as red markers with the yellow envelope representing the quadratic sum of the statistical and the systematic uncertainties. Several signal scenarios are displayed. The last bin includes the overflow.

Cross section limits on the left for the {DY}-produced \PGtpr fermions with ${Q} = 1e$ (blue circles) and ${Q} = 2e$ (red triangles), and on the right for the production of \PZpr boson decaying into a pair of \PGtpr fermions of charge $2e$ (black circles). The results obtained with the ionization method are displayed with open symbols, while the symbols for the mass method are filled. The corresponding theoretical predictions for the two {DY}-productions are shown using the same color code as for the limits, depending on the \PGtpr charge. For the \PZpr production, all the samples assume a narrow width. The branching fraction for the \PZpr boson decay to $\PGtpr\PGtpr$ is 1 and a fixed \PGtpr mass of 600\GeV is used.

The two-dimensional exclusion showing the observed cross section limit as a function of the masses of the \PGtpr (on the $x$ axis) and of the \PZpr boson (on the $y$ axis), for the ionization method on the left and for the mass method on the right. The area above the black solid line corresponds to the region that is compatible with the {ATLAS} excess from Ref.~\cite{Giudice_2022} and the black star corresponds to the best fit of the ATLAS excess with this model. The empty circles correspond to the 35 simulated mass points.
