Can the data from the CERN p-italicp-bar collider limit gaugino masses

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
We show that the hadronic decays of the W-italic gaugino (W-italic-tilde) and Z-italic gaugino (Z-italic-tilde) produced via each of the processes W-italic..-->..W-italic-tildegamma-tilde, W-italic..-->..W-italic-tildeZ-italic-tilde, and Z-italic/sup 0/W-tildeW-tilde lead to a substantial monojet and dijet + missing p-italic/sub T-italic/ rate at the CERN collider. If the latter two decays are kinematically allowed, one should expect a comparable number of spectacular dilepton and trilepton events with little hadronic activity. In addition, there would also be jet + lepton + missing p-italic/sub T-italic/ signals. Absence of such signals could lead to the most stringent direct experimental limits on W-italic-tilde and Z-italic-tilde masses currently possible.
