Phenomenology of Gluino Searches at the Tevatron
Present data indicates that the gluino (if it exists) must be heavier than
about 95~GeV. During the next few years as the Tevatron integrated luminosity
increases, gluino searches will be able to probe the mass range between 100 and
200~GeV. For masses in this range, a variety of gluino decay modes can provide
viable signatures for gluino detection. Apart from the classic missing
transverse energy signal, the detection of high transverse momentum like-sign
dileptons may be the cleanest signature for gluino production. Other signatures
such as the production of a hard photon in the gluino cascade decay may also
play an important role in confirming the supersymmetric origin of events
originating from gluino production and decay.Comment: 17 pages, PHYZZX format (with Ray Cowan's TABLES.TEX macros), invited
