Abstract

An update of the searches for charginos and neutralinos in DELPHI is presented, based mainly on recent data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 161 GeV and 172 GeV. No signal is found. For a sneutrino with mass above 300 GeV/c(2) and a mass difference between the chargino and the lightest neutralino above 10 GeV/c(2), the lower limit at 95% confidence level on the chargino mass ranges from 84.3 GeV/c(2) to the kinematical limit (86.0 GeV/c(2)), depending on the mixing parameters. The limit, decreases for lower chargino-neutralino mass differences. The limit in the case of a light sneutrino is 67.6 GeV/c(2), provided that that there is no light sneutrino with a mass within 10 GeV/c(2) below the chargino mass. Upper limits on neutralino pair production cross-sections of about a picobarn are derived. The (mu, M-2) domain excluded in the MSSM-GUT scenario is determined by combining the neutralino and chargino searches. These results imply a limit. on the mass of the lightest neutralino which, for a heavy sneutrino, is constrained to be above 24.9 GeV/c(2) for tan beta greater than or equal to 1. The search has also been extended to the case where the lightest neutralino is unstable and decays into a photon and a gravitino.
