Summary of the SUSY Working Group of the 1999 Les Houches Workshop
The results obtained by the Working Group on Supersymmetry at the 1999 Les
Houches Workshop on Collider Physics are summarized. Separate chapters treat
"general" supersymmetry, R-parity violation, gauge mediated supersymmetry
breaking, and anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking.Comment: LaTeX, 110 pages with numerous .ps and .eps files. proc.tex is main

QCD correction to gluino decay to in the MSSM
We calculate the complete next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the
three-body decay of gluino into top-pair associated with a lightest neutralino
in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We obtain that the LO and NLO QCD
corrected decay widths of at the
benchmark point are and 0.1069 GeV respectively, and
the relative correction is -28.2%. We investigate the dependence of the QCD
correction to on and the
masses of gluino, scalar top quarks and the lightest neutralino around the
benchmark point, separately. We find that the NLO QCD corrections
suppress the LO decay width, and the absolute relative correction can exceed
30% in some parameter space. Therefore, the QCD corrections to the three-body
decay should be taken into account for
the precise experimental measurement at future colliders. Moreover, we study
the distributions of the top-pair invariant mass () and the
missing energy (), and find that the line shapes of the LO
distributions of and are not obviously distorted by
the NLO QCD corrections.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figure

Measurements of the leptonic branching fractions of the
Data collected with the DELPHI detector from 1993 to 1995 combined with previous DELPHI results for data from 1991 and 1992 yield the branching fractions B({\tau \rightarrow \mbox{\rm e} \nu \bar{\nu}}) = (17.877 \pm 0.109_{stat} \pm 0.110_{sys} )\% and
Search for scalar fermions and long-lived scalar leptons at centre-of-mass energies of 130 GeV to 172 GeV
Data taken by DELPHI during the 1995 and 1996 LEP runs have been used to search for the supersymmetric partners of electron, muon and tau leptons and of top and bottom quarks. The observations are in agreement with standard model predictions. Limits are set on sfermion masses. Searches for long lived scalar leptons from low scale supersymmetry breaking models exclude stau masses below 55~GeV/c at the 95\% confidence level, irrespective of the gravitino mass
Investigation of the splitting of quark and gluon jets
The splitting processes in identified quark and gluon jets are investigated using longitudinal and transverse observables. The jets are selected from symmetric three-jet events measured in Z decays with the Delphi detector in 1991-1994. Gluon jets are identified using heavy quark anti-tagging. Scaling violations in identified gluon jets are observed for the first time. The scale energy dependence of the gluon fragmentation function is found to be about two times larger than for the corresponding quark jets, consistent with the QCD expectation TeX . The primary splitting of gluons and quarks into subjets agrees with fragmentation models and, for specific regions of the jet resolution TeX , with NLLA calculations. The maximum of the ratio of the primary subjet splittings in quark and gluon jets is TeX . Due to non-perturbative effects, the data are below the expectation at small TeX . The transition from the perturbative to the non-perturbative domain appears at smaller TeX for quark jets than for gluon jets. Combined with the observed behaviour of the higher rank splittings, this explains the relatively small multiplicity ratio between gluon and quark jets

The Snowmass Points and Slopes: benchmarks for SUSY searches
The ``Snowmass Points and Slopes'' (SPS) are a set of benchmark points and
parameter lines in the MSSM parameter space corresponding to different
scenarios in the search for Supersymmetry at present and future experiments.
This set of benchmarks was agreed upon at the 2001 ``Snowmass Workshop on the
Future of Particle Physics'' as a consensus based on different existing
proposals.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
