Search for chargino and neutralino at Run II of the Tevatron collider

Anadi Canepa, Purdue University

Abstract

In this dissertation we present a search for the associated production of charginos and neutralinos, the supersymmetric partners of the Standard Model bosons. We analyze a data sample representing 745 pb -1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF experiment at the pp¯ Tevatron collider. We compare the Standard Model predictions with the observed data selecting events with three leptons and missing transverse energy. Finding no excess, we combine the results of our search with similar analyses carried out at, CDF and set an upper limit, on the chargino mass in SUSY scenarios.
