SUSY Searches at LEP2 using OPAL

(Under Construction) A collection of papers, code, etc. will be collected here for use by colleagues. The beginning two are just for neutralinos for Gustavo and Sylvie.

Want some motivation?

• The Quantum Correlation R_b/R_c in the MSSM: More Hints of Supersymmetry?, by D. Garcia and J. Sola (189 kbytes) (figures)
• Implications of Gam(Z->bbbar) for Supersymmetry Searches and Model-Building, by J. Wells, C. Kolda, and G. Kane (302 kbytes)

Experiment: Check out OPAL Technical Note TN313 giving LEP and SLD averages for Gamma_bbbar and Gamma_ccbar. Theory is now outside of the 99.9% contour of the combined measurements!

Monte Carlo Generators

• SUSYGEN
• ISASUSY (still converting - to come)

Monte Carlo Samples

• The W+W- Working Group's samples are our backgrounds, and their backgrounds are our backgrounds...
• Other backgrounds: Monte Carlo for LEP200 - A Status Report, on the HIGGS disk. Chargino samples also listed there.
