CDF Logo Search for Chargino-Neutralino Associated Production in e+e,mu+e,mu channel, Public Page Exotics Logo
This Run II analysis is an inclusive search for Chargino-Neutralino associated production in their decay channel with trileptons in 1 fb-1 of data. We concentrate on the decays with one electron and two additional leptons (electrons or muons). The events are selected from the inclusive single high-pt electron trigger which requires Et(electron) greater than 18 GeV. The selection of the events requires one electron with Et greater than 20 GeV and a second lepton with Et greater than 8 GeV (satisfying the electron and muon ID cuts as in the note and as blessed in the Joint Physics meeting), satisfying the topological cuts:
- 20 < Mee < 76 and Mee > 106 GeV/c2;
- Transverse missing energy > 15 GeV;
- DeltaR(ee, emu) > 0.4
- Number Jets (with Et > 20) < 2;
and a third lepton which can be electron or muon with Et > 4 GeV and satisfying the same cuts as the second electron and the muon ID criteria as in the note. The Standard Model backgrounds are evaluated from Monte Carlo samples, while the rate of jets faking leptons is obtained from jet samples at different Et tresholds collected in the data. The analysis is carried out as three separate analyses, depending if the second lepton is a central electron (CC), an electron in the forward (CP) or a muon (EM). We observe zero events in all channels, with an expected background of 0.43 ± 0.06(stat) ± 0.06(syst), 0.33 ± 0.08(stat) ± 0.05(syst), 0.28 ± 0.08(stat) ± 0.03(syst) events for CC, CP and EM respectively. The systematic uncertainty has been evaluated for signal and backgrounfd as in the Tables below. A combination of this analysis with the other trilepton analyses is currently undergoing.
