Photon pair production bye + e − annihilation and search for supersymmetric photinos at energies greater than 40 GeV

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The cross section for the processe + e −→γγ has been measured for c.m. energies 39.5<W<46.8 GeV. Good agreement with the predictions of QED was found and lower limits for the cut-off parameters of Λ+>61 GeV and Λ+> GeV (95% confidence level) have been determined. A search for two photon final states with missing energy provided lower limits on the masses of the photino and selectron.
