Analysis of LEP Constraints on Supersymmetric Models with a Light Gravitino
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an analysis of LEP constraints on radiative neutralino decays into a light gravitino, based on the plane of the Higgs mixing parameter μ and the SU(2) gaugino mass M2. The preliminary LEP 2W constraints in the (μ,M2) plane are considerably stronger than for supersymmetric models in which the lightest neutralino is stable. A significant portion of the parameter space in which chargino or selectron decay into a final state containing a light gravitino could provide an interpretation of the CDF eeγγ + ET,miss event can now excluded by the preliminary LEP 2W data.

Single-photon signals at LEP in supersymmetric models with a light gravitino
We study the single-photon signals expected at LEP in models with a very light gravitino. The dominant process is neutralino-gravitino production (ee → χG̃) with subsequent neutralino decay via χ → γG̃, giving a γ+Emiss signal. We first calculate the cross section at arbitrary center-of-mass energies and provide new analytic expressions for the differential cross section valid for general neutral...
متن کاملSupersymmetric analysis and predictions based on the CDF eeγγ + / E T event
We have analyzed the single eeγγ+ / ET event at CDF and found that the expected rate and kinematics are consistent with selectron pair production. We consider two classes of general low-energy supersymmetric theories, where either the lightest neutralino (“neutralino LSP” scenario) or the gravitino (“light gravitino” scenario) is the lightest supersymmetric particle. The parameter space of the ...

متن کاملSupersymmetric Photonic Signals at LEP
We explore and contrast the single-photon and diphoton signals expected at LEP 2, that arise from neutralino-gravitino (ee → χG̃ → γ + Emiss) and neutralino-neutralino (ee → χχ → γγ+Emiss) production in supersymmetric models with a light gravitino. LEP 1 limits imply that one may observe either one, but not both, of these signals at LEP 2, depending on the values of the neutralino and gravitino ...
متن کاملSearch for supersymmetry with a light gravitino at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LEP colliders.
We analyze the prospects for discovering supersymmetry at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LEP colliders in the scenario that the lightest supersymmetric particle is a gravitino of mass <∼ 1 keV. We consider in particular the case that the lightest neutralino has a nearly 100% branching fraction into gravitino + photon within the detector. This implies that supersymmetric events should contain bo...
