New Signals for Gluinos and Squarks of Supergravity at the Tevatron Collider

- 9 June 1993
Abstract
Within the supergravity framework, sleptons are expected to be considerably lighter than squarks if gluinos and squarks are approximately degenerate. This can lead to a significant enhancement in leptonic branching ratio for neutralinos, and sometimes, charginos. Using ISAJET 7.0/ISASUSY 1.0, we evaluate the multilepton signals from cascade decays of gluinos and squarks produced at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar p$ collider assuming squark and slepton masses are related as in supergravity models. We find observable cross sections for spectacular event topologies: $m$-lepton + $n$-jet + $\eslt$ events ($m \leq 4$, $n \geq 2$) and same-sign dilepton + $\eslt$ events and show that the SM backgrounds to the isolated trilepton, four lepton and same-sign dilepton signals are very small. These signals can extend the mass reach of the Tevatron experiments to $m_{\tg}\sim 300$~GeV if $m_{\tg}\sim m_{\tq}$ and ${\cal O}(1000)$ pb$^{-1}$ of data are collected.
