Light , long - lived and secluded : can gluinos be driven out from LEP 1 data ?
نویسنده
چکیده
We briefly report about a possible settlement of the still ongoing dispute concerning the existence of SUSY signals in 4jet events at LEP1. We base our arguments on a simple selection strategy exploiting secondary vertex tagging and kinematical constraints, which could allow one to access or exclude gluino events for a broad range of masses and lifetimes.

Gluino signals in 4jet events and vertex tagging at LEP I
Heavy flavour tagging provides a broad range of possibilities in testing QCD features at LEP. We present here a detailed study of 4jets events at LEP I where the so-called light gluinos could be directly produced. We show that microvertex techniques offer a unique chance to perform kinematical cuts in order to optimise the signal coming from gluino production with respect to the background of o...
متن کاملPossible Implications of a Light Gluino
Light gluinos have been suggested in order to reconcile αs determinations from low energy deep inelastic experiments with those inferred from LEP measurements. From this hypothesis then one expects, in unified N=1 supergravity models, that also the ”photino” will be light. We show that this possibility is not in conflict with recent LEP measurements and also that cosmology does not necessarily ...

We discuss systematically the consistency of light gluinos with data on perturbative QCD from deep inelastic scattering, quarkonia, jets at LEP, and the total hadronic cross-section in ee annihilation on the Z peak and elsewhere. We demonstrate that, in addition to the well-known increase in the value of αs(mZ) inferred from lower-energy data due to the slower running of αs in the presence of l...

We show that the possibility of having light gluinos is not in conflict with recent LEP measurements and also that cosmology does not rule it out in any convincing way. In unified N=1 supergravity models, one expects that also the ”photino” will be light. Moreover it leads to upper limits on the masses of the other supersymmetric fermions, for example, the lightest chargino should be lighter th...
متن کاملLight Gluinos in Four-jet Events at Lep
The light gluino hypothesis can explain the apparent incompatibility between the measurements of αs at lowand high-energy. Such gluinos are produced directly in four-jet events, for which we perform a detailed analysis. Because the jet energies are not large, the effect of the non-zero gluino mass is important. We take the gluino mass into account in the computation of the cross sections and sh...
