Abstract

We study the signals for supersymmetry at the Tevatron and DiTevatron (s=4\TeV\sqrt{s}=4\TeV) in various well-motivated supersymmetric models. We consider the trilepton signature in the decay of pair-produced charginos and neutralinos, the missing energy signature in gluino and squark production, and the bbˉb\bar b signal in the decay of the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson produced in association with a WW or ZZ boson. In each case we perform signal and background studies, using Monte Carlo and/or real data to estimate the sensitivity to these signals at the Tevatron and DiTevatron with the Main Injector, for short- and long-term integrated luminosities of L=10{\cal L}=10 and 25\ifb25\ifb, and 5σ5\sigma statistical significance. We conclude that one could probe chargino masses as high as mχ1±180(200)\GeVm_{\chi^\pm_1}\sim180\,(200)\GeV, gluino masses as high as mg~450(750)\GeVm_{\tilde g}\sim450\,(750)\GeV, and lightest Higgs boson masses as high as mh110(120)\GeVm_h\sim110\,(120)\GeV at the Tevatron (DiTevatron). A high-luminosity option at the Tevatron (1033\cm2\s110^{33}\cm^{-2}\s^{-1}) may compensate somewhat for the higher reach of the DiTevatron, but only in the trilepton and Higgs signals. However, these gains may be severely compromised once the multiple-interaction environment of the high-luminosity Tevatron is accounted for.
