Supersymmetry at D0

H. C. Shankar, Tata Institute (Bombay), now UCLA

This talk describes the search for supersymmetry in the minimal supergravity framework using the data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pbarp collider. The data were examined for events containing at least two electrons, at least two jets and substantial missing transverse energy. No excess of events above the expected yield from the standard model processes was observed. The interpretation of this null result in the context of minimal supergravity models has lead to 95% CL lower bounds on the mass of the gluino for the case of heavy squarks and, equal squark and gluino masses.
