Abstract
We examine the processes , , and at Fermilab Tevatron collider energies and find an observable signal for events due to cascade and loop decays of squarks and gluinos. This signal occurs in a substantial region of the supersymmetric parameter space provided only that the Higgsino-mixing mass parameter is small. We evaluate several different standard-model backgrounds, and show that the signal (which can yield up to 25 events in the next Tevatron run) exceeds background for or as large as 200 GeV. Distributions which discriminate the supersymmetric signal from background are also shown.
