A search for pair-production of neutralinos at a LEP centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV gave no evidence for a signal. This limits the neutralino production cross-section and excludes regions in the parameter space of the Minimal…
Charginos are expected to be the lightest observable supersymmetric particles in many of the supersymmetric models. In the scenario that lighter charginios are pair-produced at CERN LEP II, we present a straightforward procedure for…

A search for charginos and neutralinos, predicted by supersymmetric theories, has been performed using a data sample of 57 pb-1 at centre-of-mass energies of 181-184 GeV taken with the OPAL detector at LEP. No evidence for chargino or…
Selectrons may be produced in pairs at LEPII if their mass is less than about 100 GeV. Preferably, they decay into the lightest neutralino plus an electron. In a scenario where selectrons are observed at LEPII, we show that: (i) in a first…
Within the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, the best fit to the most recent precision-measurement data requires charginos and neutralinos, with dominant Higgsino components and with masses within the reach of LEP1.5…

Data collected by the OPAL detector at LEP up to the highest energies of 209 GeV are analyzed to search for evidence of supersymmetric (SUSY) particle production. Chargino pair-production and neutralino associated production are considered…

In supersymmetric models where the magnitude of the GUT scale gaugino mass parameter M_3 is suppressed relative to M_1 and M_2, the lightest neutralino can be a mixed higgsino-bino state with a thermal relic abundance in agreement with the…
During the LEP2 operation, the 4 LEP experiments have collected data at centre-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV. Those data have been analysed in the search of charginos, neutralinos and sfermions in the framework of the Minimal…
We consider a general class of models with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking in which the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle. Several qualitatively different scenarios arise for the phenomenology of such models, depending…
