A search for pair production of the lightest chargino at root-s = 130.
4 and 136.3 GeV has been carried out using the data sample correspondi
ng to the 5.92 pb(-1) recorded by the DELPHI detector during the high
energy run of LEP in the last period of 1995. The theoretical referenc
e model has been the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with R-pari
ty conservation. The three topologies expected for the decay of a pair
of charginos, namely two acoplanar leptons plus missing energy (ll),
two jets and an isolated lepton plus missing (jjl) and missing energy
in a hadronic environment (root-s), were investigated. No evidence of
a signal was found. Lower mass limits were derived for various scenari
os, including the case of a low mass difference between the chargino a
nd the neutralino and of a light sneutrino. The mass limits range betw
een 56.3 GeV/c(2) and the kinetic limit.
