Acceptance and efficiency for a representative set of pair-produced gluino signal samples. The mass of the gluino ($m(\tilde{g})$), its lifetime ($\tau(\tilde{g})$) and the mass of the neutralino ($m(\tilde{\chi}^{0})$) are given in the first three columns. The Pythia 6.4.27 signal samples shown in this table are not reweighted to match the transverse momentum of the gluino-gluino system as simulated by MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The acceptance is defined as the fraction of events passing a loose set of fiducial requirements. The full simulation efficiency (Full sim. $\epsilon$) is defined as the ratio of the number of reconstructed events, as expected by the full ATLAS simulation, and the number of events passing the fiducial requirements. The parameterised simulation efficiency (Param. sim. $\epsilon$) is defined as the ratio of the number of events estimated using a set of parametrised efficiencies (see auxiliary Figures 9,10,11,12) and the number of events passing the fiducial requirements alone.

The relationship between generated and reconstructed mass for gluino $R$-hadrons. Above 1500 GeV, the reconstructed mass falls below the generated mass due to bias in the reconstructed momentum. The uncertainty on the reconstructed mass is dominated by momentum uncertainty. The black dots represent the reconstructed mass computed as the most probable value of a Gaussian fit function, with the error bars showing its statistical uncertainty, while the orange band is the full-width at half maximum of the reconstructed mass distribution.

The parameterised efficiency for events to pass metastable event selections (including trigger, E$_{T}^{miss}$, and event cleaning requirements) as a function of the true E$_{T}^{miss}$ in the system, which is calculated at generator level. Event-level efficiencies are evaluated for events which have at least true E$_{T}^{miss} > 50$ GeV. The metastable event efficiencies are evaluated for different radial regions depending on the smallest radial distance, R, at which an R-hadron decays in the detector.

The parameterised efficiency for events to pass metastable event selections (including trigger, E$_{T}^{miss}$, and event cleaning requirements) as a function of the true E$_{T}^{miss}$ in the system, which is calculated at generator level. Event-level efficiencies are evaluated for events which have at least true E$_{T}^{miss} > 50$ GeV. The stable event efficiencies are evaluated for samples in which no R-hadron decays within the detector.

The parameterised efficiency for particles to pass full track selections in the metastable signal region, as function of the particle’s $\beta$, in different bins of transverse momentum, $p_{T}$, and for different radial decay positions of the particle.
