GAUGE-MEDIATED SUPERSYMMETRY BREAKING SIGNALS AT LEP2

We consider the experimental signals that can arise in a general class of models with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking in which the gra vitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle. Depending on which sup erpartners decay dominantly to the gravitino, several qualitatively di fferent possibilities arise for the phenomenology of such models. At L EP2, neutralino pair production and/or slepton pair production can lea d to a variety of promising discovery signals. We investigate the impa ct of backgrounds for these signals and show how they can be reduced.
