Production of the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle in Electron-Photon Collisions

Abstract

We present cross sections for the production of the lightest supersymmetric particle as a neutralino state in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at electron-photon colliders. The lightest supersymmetric particle mass is taken at a value of 30 GeV which is slightly higher than its lowest experimental bound of 20 GeV, and the masses of the scalar electron are varied. We show partial cross sections of the energy and angular distribution of the outgoing electron for different values of the centre of mass energy. As a result we show that electron-photon collider experiments could be quite sensitive to the detection of supersymmetric particles.
