Supersymmetry: why ?
SUSY
Limitations of Standard Model
• Stabilisation of Higgs mass at EW scale

• Couplings don’t unify at one scale

• Dark Matter ->LSP

• Dark Energy
• Neutrino masses
• Gravity

Analysis Strategy
COUNTING EXPERIMENT
•
Optimise selection criteria for best
signal/background value;
•
Define the signal region and keep it
blind
• Test agreement observed vs. expected number
of events in orthogonal regions (“control regions”)
• Look in the signal region and count number of
SUSY events !!
(Or set limit on the model)

Summary and Outlook:
Chargino and Neutralino in mSugra
Multileptons signatures:
• CDF analysed first bunch of data and observed no excess
• Set limit already beyond LEP results ! (although model dependent )
• 1.5 fb-1 of data collected and ready to be analysed
• With 4-8 fb-1 by the end of RunII we should be sensitive to Chargino
masses up to ~250 GeV and xBR ~ 0.05-0.01 pb !!
