Searching for the Lightest Neutralino at Fixed Target Experiments L.Borissov,J.M.Conrad,M.Shaevitz Columbia University,New York,NY,10027(February 1,2008)Most ongoing supersymmetry searches have concentrated on the high-energy frontier.High-intensity ?xed target beam-lines,however,o?er an opportunity to search for supersym-metric particles with long lifetimes and low cross-sections in regions complementary to the ones accessible to collider ex-periments.In this paper,we consider R -parity violating su-persymmetry searches for the lightest neutralino and use the NuTeV experiment as an example for the experimental sensi-tivity which can be achieved.I.MOTIV ATION A review of sypersymmetric models can be found in Ref.[1].We consider models where the lightest neu-tralino (?χ01)is the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP).If the LSP is allowed to decay,R -parity violation (R p )is required via the superpotential:W R p =λijk L i L j ¯E k +λ′ijk L i Q j ¯D k +λ′′ijk ¯U i ¯D j ¯D k (1)where i ,j and k are generation indices,L and Q are the lepton and quark SU (2)super?eld doublets,E ,U ,and D are the lepton and quark singlets and λijk ,λ′ijk ,and λ′′ijk are Yukawa-type couplings between the ?elds.This model is speci?ed by the squark and slepton masses;mass terms for the gauginos at the electroweak scale (M 1,M 2and M 3),the ratio of vacuum expectation values of the two neutral Higgses (tan β);a mass term mixing the two Higgs doublets (µ)and the values of the λ-couplings.
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM),uni?cation is imposed at the GUT-scale,which leads to the relation:

A.Production and decay
At the NuTeV target,?χ01’s can be pair-produced in the s-channel via a Z,or in the t-channel through an exchange of a squark(Fig.2).If the squark mass is suf-?ciently small,production can be enhanced.For our es-timates,however,we have chosen to work with sfermion masses of the order of800GeV,conservatively above present experimental bounds[8].Thus the only relevant production parameters are M1,M2,µ,and tanβ.Pro-duction is insensitive to M3,which is responsible for the gluino mass.
NuTeV uses a high intensity proton beam,but its center-of-mass energy(

Using a Monte Carlo event generator[14,15],we per-form a scan of uMSSM parameter space for M1= 1,10,100GeV/c2,M2=0,...,400GeV/c2,µ=?200,...,200GeV/c2and tanβ=1.5,...,40.We set m?
f≈800GeV/c2and M3=1TeV.We found no strong

?χ01is mostly bino.We consider M1=1GeV/c2as indica-tive for the case accessible to NuTeV and similar?xed target experiments and present results for two represen-tative decay lengths:l=1.5×105cm,where sensitivity is optimal,and l=1.5×106cm,far past the detector, where sensitivity is signi?cantly reduced.The results for small and large tanβare shown on Fig.5and Fig.6 respectively.The exclusion regions in these plots are sim-ilar to the ones obtained by the LEP experiments[9]with the di?erence that the latter address the case when the ?χ01decays inside the LEP detectors while we consider the case of large?χ01decay length,well beyond any detector placed at the production vertex.
III.CONCLUSIONS
The work presented here is an attempt to motivate R p searches at?xed target experiments,since collider exper-iments run into sensitivity problems at low energy[8,9]. We argue that NuTeV and similar?xed target experi-ments,such as KTeV,may be in a unique position to complement collider searches.Recently,the work pre-sented in this paper has been applied by the NuTeV col-laboration to set a limit on neutralino production[23].
