Multi-Channel Search for Minimal Supergravity at $p\bar p$ and $e^+e^-$ Colliders

Authors

Description

We examine the phenomenology of minimal supergravity models, assuming only that the low energy theory has the minimal particle content, that electroweak symmetry is radiatively broken, and that R-parity is essentially conserved. After delineating regions of supergravity parameter space currently excluded by direct particle searches at LEP and the Tevatron, we quantify how this search region will be expanded when LEP~II and the Tevatron Main Injector upgrades become operational. We describe how various experimental analyses can be consistently combined within a single framework, resulting in a multi-channel search for supersymmetry, but note that this analysis is sensitive to specific assumptions about physics at the unification scale.
