Abstract

We study the inclusive production of the next-to-lightest neutralino χ̃⁰₂, decaying directly, or via slepton, into two leptons and the lightest neutralino. The dilepton invariant mass spectrum in these decays has a characteristic sharp edge near the kinematical upper limit. We propose to exploit this feature as a search strategy for the χ̃⁰₂, and thereby for SUSY. The possibilities to determine neutralinos and slepton masses are also discussed.
