R. Barate et al., SEARCH FOR SLEPTONS IN E(-) COLLISIONS AT CENTER-OF-MASS ENERGIES UP TO 184 GEV()E(), Physics letters. Section B, 433(1-2), 1998, pp. 176-194
The data collected by the ALEPH experiment at LEP at centre-of-mass en
ergies around 183 GeV are analysed to search for sleptons, the partner
s of leptons in supersymmetric theories. The previously published sear
ch for acoplanar leptons and missing energy has been updated. New sear
ches have been developed to cover a wider range of slepton signals. Th
ese include single electrons, acoplanar leptons accompanied by two pho
tons plus missing energy as well as particles with lifetime. No eviden
ce for the production of any such particles is found. Slepton mass lim
its are reported within gravity mediated and gauge mediated SUSY break
ing scenarios. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
