Light-gluino Production at Lep 1
نویسنده
چکیده
If gluinos are light, they will be produced in electron-positron annihilation at LEP, not only by radiation in pairs oo quarks and antiquarks, but also without accompanying quark and antiquark jets. We here discuss the latter process, pair production of gluinos, in a model with soft supersymmetry breaking, allowing for mixing between the squarks. In much of the parameter space of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model (MSSM) the cross section corresponds to a Z branching ratio above 10 ?5 , even up to 10 ?4. A non-observation of gluinos at this level restricts the allowed MSSM parameter space.

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 کاملThe Light Gluino Mass Window Revisited
The precise measurements of the “electroweak observables” performed at LEP and SLC are well consistent with the standard model predictions. Deviations from the standard model arising from vacuum polarization diagrams (also called “weak loop corrections”) have been constrained in a model-independent manner with the ε formalism. Within the same formalism, additional deviations from new physics pr...

If gluinos are light, they will be produced in electron-positron annihilation at LEP, not only by radiation in pairs off quarks and antiquarks, but also without accompanying quark and antiquark jets. We here discuss the latter process, pair production of gluinos, in a model with soft supersymmetry breaking, allowing for mixing between the squarks.

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...
متن کاملLEP and Radiative Electroweak Breaking Close the Light Gluino Window
We show that the LEP lower bound on the chargino mass, in conjunction with the well motivated theoretical requirement of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, imply an upper bound on the lightest Higgs boson mass (mh <∼ 62GeV) in a supersymmetry breaking scenario where the gluino mass is a few GeV. Moreover, Higgs searches at LEP in the context of this model require mh >∼ 61GeV. The remainin...
