Abstract
We have searched for chargino-neutralino production (χ̃1±χ̃20) in 1.8 TeV pp¯ collisions, followed by their leptonic decays χ̃1±→χ̃10ℓ±ν and χ̃20→χ̃10ℓ+ℓ−. These trilepton events are expected within a framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). In a 19.1pb−1 data sample collected with a Collider Detector at Fermilab, no trilepton events were observed. Upper limits on σ(pp¯→χ̃1±χ̃20)̇BR(χ̃1±χ̃20→3ℓ+X) were obtained for various MSSM parameter space regions, yielding new 95% confidence level lower limits for the neutralino (χ̃20) mass which extend as high as 49GeV/c2.
