Charginos and Neutralinos could be produced in p-pbar
collisions, decaying to leptons and the lightest neutralino, giving
a final state of three leptons and missing energy. A search for
the trilepton signature using 100 pb-1 of data from Run 1, gave a null
result, but suffers from a loss in efficiency due to the geometrical acceptance
of the CDF detector. Our search requires only two of the three leptons,
but requires them to have the same charge, significantly reducing Standard
Model background, and doubling the sensitivity of the CDF detector
to Supersymmetry in this mode with the Run 1 dataset. |

| We have studied the physics potential of Run
2 for the trilepton search, one of the premier signatures of Supersymmetry expected
to be observable at the Tevatron. Our analysis is based on the
Run 1 analysis, and gives an expected sensitivity to chargino-neutralino
production for chargino masses of up to 150 GeV/c^2, depending on the
MSSM parameters. |
