Inclusive Search for Squark and Gluino Production in p(p)over-bar Collisions at root s = TeV

We report on a search for inclusive production of squarks and gluinos in p(p) over-bar collisions at root s = 1:96 TeV, in events with large missing transverse energy and multiple jets of hadrons in the final state. The study uses a CDF Run II data sample corresponding to 2 fb[superscript -1] of i...

Description
Summary:We report on a search for inclusive production of squarks and gluinos in p(p) over-bar collisions at root s = 1:96 TeV, in events with large missing transverse energy and multiple jets of hadrons in the final state. The study uses a CDF Run II data sample corresponding to 2 fb[superscript -1] of integrated luminosity. The data are in good agreement with the standard model predictions, giving no evidence for any squark or gluino component. In an R-parity conserving minimal supergravity scenario with A[subscript 0] = 0, mu<0, and tanB = 5, 95% C.L. upper limits on the production cross sections in the range between 0.1 and 1 pb are obtained, depending on the squark and gluino masses considered. For gluino masses below 280 GeV/c[superscript 2], arbitrarily large squark masses are excluded at the 95% C.L., while for mass degenerate gluinos and squarks, masses below 392 GeV/c [superscript 2] are excluded at the 95% C.L.
