At LEP 2, the production of such a $\\tilde \\tau_1$ pair and their subsequent decays give rise to a pair of $\\tau$ leptons plus missing energy from the unobserved gravitinos. The angular distributions of the $\\tau$'s are different from those arising from the production and decay of W pairs, and thus will constitute an interesting signal for supersymmetry. We also consider ${\\tilde \\tau_1}$ pair production in the complementary part of parameter space where the lightest neutralino is lighter than the $\\tilde \\tau_1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-10-30T00:40:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Jv", "14.80.Ly", "11.30.Pb" ], "keywords": [ "gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking", "scalar tau signal", "parameter space", "leptons plus missing energy", "production" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
