- This is what I eleuded to by mentioning missing tranverse energy
- events. Typically SUSY searches have centered on gluino > quark
- antiquark LSP, where LSP = the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle
- and is usually assumed to be the photino. THis gives rise to
- missing tranverse energy since the photino escapes the detector.
- Trouble with this scenario is, the gluino may decay into a higher
- mass gaugino, which then cascades down to the photino, softening
- the missing E_t spectrum. This for the ppbar world there have
- also been specific searches for neutralinos and charged Higgs, as
- well as limits placed on SUSY partner particles from the Z0
- invisible width.

- Tell you what, I will post a more complete description of
- previous searches later, when I don't have to do it ad lib...
