TL;DR
This paper proposes optimized search strategies for detecting pair-produced gluinos decaying into jets and missing energy at the Tevatron, highlighting potential gaps in current methods and improving sensitivity across the full parameter space.
Contribution
It introduces a comprehensive search approach that covers all kinematically-allowed gluino decay scenarios, surpassing existing CMSSM-motivated cut strategies.
Findings
Current searches can miss discoverable gluino spectra.
Optimized HT and MET cuts improve detection sensitivity.
Complete parameter space coverage is achievable.
Abstract
This letter describes how to perform searches over the complete kinematically-allowed parameter space for new pair-produced color octet particles that each subsequently decay into two jets plus missing energy at the Tevatron. This letter shows that current searches can miss otherwise discoverable spectra of particles due to CMSSM-motivated cuts. Optimizing the HT and MET cuts expands the sensitivity of these searches.
