Associated selectron-neutralino production in the process $e^-\gamma\to\tilde e^-\tilde\chi^0$ provides a striking supersymmetric signal: events with a single high $p_\perp$ electron and otherwise only invisible particles. For $e^-\gamma$…
We discuss the pair production of charginos in collisions of polarized photons $\gamma\gamma \to \tilde{\chi}_i^+ \tilde{\chi}_i^-$, ($i=1,2$) and the subsequent leptonic decay of the lighter chargino $\tilde{\chi}_1^+ \to \tilde{\chi}_1^0…
