Search for mSUGRA in single-electron events with jets and large missing transverse energy in ppbar collisions at center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV

Abstract

We describe a search for evidence of minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) in 92.7 pb^(-1) of data collected with the D{\O}detector at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar collider at center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV. Events with a single electron, four or more jets, and large missing transverse energy were used in this search. The major backgrounds are from W+jets, misidentified multijet, ttbar, and WW production. We observe no excess above the expected number of background events in our data. A new limit in terms of mSUGRA model parameters is obtained.
