S. Mrenna et al., POSSIBLE SIGNALS OF CONSTRAINED MINIMAL SUPERSYMMETRY AT A HIGH-LUMINOSITY FERMILAB TEVATRON COLLIDER, Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 53(3), 1996, pp. 1168-1180
We study the most promising signals of constrained minimal supersymmet
ry detectable at a luminosity upgraded 2 TeV Fermilab Tevatron collide
r. Using a full event-level Monte Carlo program based on PYTHIA and JE
TSET we simulate the trilepton signal examining in detail the effect o
f constraints on the parameter space. We also simulate the monolepton
and dilepton signals, the E(T)+jets signal, and the signals of top squ
ark production in supersymmetry all with full standard model backgroun
ds with realistic detector cuts. We find that large fractions of param
eter space can be probed (or eliminated if no signal is found), but ma
ss limits on charginos and neutralinos are not possible based solely o
n the trilepton signal. Detection efficiencies depend strongly on supe
rsymmetry parameters beyond simply the neutralino and chargino masses;
analyses (experimental or theoretical) that do not include this will
draw misleading conclusions. Finally, we comment on how searches at CE
RN LEP II will complement searches at Fermilab.
