Abstract
In this paper we argue that monojet and monophoton searches can be a sensitive test of very highly ionizing particles such as particles with charges & 150e and more generally particles that do not reach the outer parts of the detector. 8 TeV monojet data from the CMS experiment excludes such objects with masses in the range . 650 GeV and charges & 100e. This nicely complements searches for highly ionizing objects at ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. Expected improvements in these channels will extend the sensitivity range to m . 750 GeV. This search strategy can directly be generalized to other particles that strongly interact with the detector material, such as e.g. magnetic monopoles.
