Implications of a Systematic Study of the CERN Monojets for Supersymmetry

We report on a comprehensive study of supersymmetric processes which could give events similar to those observed at the CERN $\mathrm{S}\overline{p}p\mathrm{S}$ collider. The present limited data seem to suggest a gluino mass ≲ 20 GeV and a scalar-quark mass of 100- 120 GeV, although certain other supersymmetric masses are not yet excluded. With this choice of masses we also predict that other events with different characteristics should be observed. An essential ingredient of our analysis is the inclusion of events originating from a perturbatively generated gluino distribution function inside the proton.
