Abstract

Searches for final states expected in models with light gravitinos have been performed, including experimental topologies with multi-leptons with missing energy, leptons and photons with missing energy, and jets and photons with missing energy. No excess over the expectations from the Standard Model has been observed. Limits are placed on production cross-sections in the different experimental topologies. Additionally, combining with searches for the anomalous production of lepton and photon pairs with missing energy, results are interpreted in the context of minimal models of gauge mediated SUSY breaking. Exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level on the supersymmetric particle masses of mℓ̃ > 83 GeV and m_X̃10 > 85 GeV for tan β = 2, and mτ̃ > 69 GeV, m_ẽ,μ̃ > 88 GeV and m_X̃10 > 76 GeV for tan β = 20, are established.

N1 - Funding Information: We particularly wish to thank the SL Division for the efficient operation of the LEP accelerator at all energies and for their continuing close cooperation with our experimental group. We thank our colleagues from CEA, DAPNIA/SPP, CE-Saclay for their efforts over the years on the time-of-flight and trigger systems which we continue to use. In addition to the support staff at our own institutions we are pleased to acknowledge the Department of Energy, USA; National Science Foundation, USA; Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council, UK; Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, Canada; Israel Science Foundation, administered by the Israel Academy of Science and Humanities, Minerva Gesellschaft; Benoziyo Center for High Energy Physics; Japanese Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (the Monbusho) and a grant under the Monbusho International Science Research Program; Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS); German Israeli Bi-national Science Foundation (GIF); Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, Germany; National Research Council of Canada; Research Corporation, USA; Hungarian Foundation for Scientific Research, OTKA T-029328, T023793 and OTKA F-023259.

N2 - Searches for final states expected in models with light gravitinos have been performed, including experimental topologies with multi-leptons with missing energy, leptons and photons with missing energy, and jets and photons with missing energy. No excess over the expectations from the Standard Model has been observed. Limits are placed on production cross-sections in the different experimental topologies. Additionally, combining with searches for the anomalous production of lepton and photon pairs with missing energy, results are interpreted in the context of minimal models of gauge mediated SUSY breaking. Exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level on the supersymmetric particle masses of mℓ̃ > 83 GeV and mX̃10 > 85 GeV for tan β = 2, and mτ̃ > 69 GeV, mẽ,μ̃ > 88 GeV and mX̃10 > 76 GeV for tan β = 20, are established.
