Abstract

We present results of the first search for like-sign dilepton (e^±e^±, e^±μ^±, μ^±μ^±) events associated with multijets and large missing energy using 106pb⁻¹ of data in pp¯ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV collected during 1992-1995 by the CDF experiment. Finding no events that pass our selection, we examine pair production of gluinos (^∼g) and squarks (^∼q) in a constrained framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. At tan β = 2 and μ = −800 GeV/c², we set 95% confidence level limits of M_g > 221 GeV/c² for M_g ≃ M_q, and M_g > 168 GeV/c² for M_q ≫ M_g, both with small variation as a function of μ.

N2 - We present results of the first search for like-sign dilepton (e±e±, e±μ±, μ±μ±) events associated with multijets and large missing energy using 106pb−1 of data in pp¯ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV collected during 1992-1995 by the CDF experiment. Finding no events that pass our selection, we examine pair production of gluinos (∼g) and squarks (∼q) in a constrained framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. At tan β = 2 and μ = −800 GeV/c2, we set 95% confidence level limits of Mg > 221 GeV/c2 for Mg ≃ Mq, and Mg > 168 GeV/c2 for Mq ≫ Mg, both with small variation as a function of μ.
