R-hadron

RLegendaryHypothetical: never detected, game threshold is fictional

Fact from the codex

Hypothetical: it would form when a heavy gluino, the supersymmetric partner of the gluon, captures quarks. It would be so heavy that it would cross the detector as a slow, strongly ionising particle, leaving an unusually thick track. Not detected so far.

Professor Quark says

“An R-hadron: a heavy supersymmetric particle wrapped in ordinary quarks. So heavy and so long-lived that it crosses the whole detector – a lorry on the motorway. Hypothetical, my colleagues say.”
