Search for charged Higgs bosons in e(+)e(-) collisions at root s = 172 GeV
This paper presents results on charged Higgs boson production, based on LEP data collected at s√=172 GeV, that complement the previous DELPHI results obtained at centre of mass energies up to 161 GeV. %The analysis is based on LEP data collected at s√=172 GeV. The charged Higgs bosons are assumed to be pair produced and to decay either into a quark pair %, identified as cs, or into τντ. The three different possible final states are included in the analysis. Data from ring imaging Cherenkov and microvertex detectors are used to identify the quarks as a cs pair. %No significant signal was found. The number of candidates found is compatible with the background expected from standard processes.…
Search for pair produced neutralinos in events with photons and missing energy from e+e− collisions at S(1/2) = 130-GeV to 183-GeV
The events with two photons and missing (transverse) energy collected by the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies between 130~GeV and 183~GeV have been studied to search for processes of the type e+e−→YY with the subsequent decay Y→Xγ, where X is an undetectable neutral particle. Reactions of this kind are expected in supersymmetric models, where the Y particle can be either the lightest neutralino, decaying to a photon and a gravitino, or the next-to-lightest neutralino, decaying to a photon and the lightest neutralino. To study the case of long-lived Y particles, a search for single-photon events with the reconstructed photon axis pointing far from the beam interaction region has al…
