Results are presented of a search for pair production of heavy objects decaying into four hadronic jets, as expected for example from associated or pair production of MSSM Higgs bosons, hA or H+H-, using a data sample of 5.9 pb(-1) of e(+)e(-) collisions at root s = 130-136 GeV collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP in November 1995. The data and expectations from standard processes agree after four-jet selections. An analysis based on b-tagging finds no hA candidate with high mass. A study optimized to search for H+H- events with mass in the 40-50 GeV/c(2) range also finds no candidate, Finally a comparison is made with a recent ALEPH analysis which found an excess of four-jet events with high multiplicity and high mass.

Abstract

Results are presented of a search for pair production of heavy objects decaying into four hadronic jets, as expected for example from associated or pair production of MSSM Higgs bosons, hA or H+H-, using a data sample of 5.9 pb(-1) of e(+)e(-) collisions at root s = 130-136 GeV collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP in November 1995. The data and expectations from standard processes agree after four-jet selections. An analysis based on b-tagging finds no hA candidate with high mass. A study optimized to search for H+H- events with mass in the 40-50 GeV/c(2) range also finds no candidate, Finally a comparison is made with a recent ALEPH analysis which found an excess of four-jet events with high multiplicity and high mass. Such a signal is not observed in the DELPHI data, although a slight excess in the mass region around 105 GeV/c(2) is seen.
