Description
Studies of the CMS and ATLAS collaborations are presented on the sensitivity to
searches for long-lived massive particles. Such particles appear for example
in particular SUSY, Extra Dimensions and Hidden Valley models. We show the
challenges to trigger and reconstruction posed by such particles, and how
CMS and ATLAS plan to solve them. Particular emphasis is given to possible early
discoveries, ie with 100 pb-1 or less. In special cases, long-lived particles
may come to rest in dense material, and decay at much later times; these can
be searched for by triggering during periods with no beam-beam collisions.
