Abstract

We analyze the prospects for discovering supersymmetry at the Fermilab\nTevatron and CERN LEP colliders in the scenario that the lightest\nsupersymmetric particle is a gravitino of mass < 1 keV. We consider in\nparticular the case that the lightest neutralino has a nearly 100% branching\nfraction into gravitino + photon within the detector. This implies that\nsupersymmetric events should contain both missing (transverse) energy and two\nenergetic photons. Therefore one can search for supersymmetry simply through\ninclusive production of superpartners. We consider the exclusion and reach\ncapabilities of the Tevatron in exploring the supersymmetric parameter space,\nand study the efficiencies which can be achieved in this search. We also\nconsider the discovery reach and backgrounds at LEP with $\\sqrt{s} =$ 160, 175,\nand 190 GeV.\n
