Abstract

It is shown that, for a wide range of parameters, the dominant decays of gluinos with mass ≳500 GeV contain gauge bosons, W± and Z, among their decay products. The pair production of heavy gluinos at the SSC is thus characterized by events with 3–4 hard jets and pairs of gauge bosons. The cleanest signature comes from the case where both gluinos decay into Z followed by [Formula: see text] which leads to ~50–100 4-lepton + multijet events annually at the SSC. In addition, 1600 trilepton + multijet and about 6000 dilepton + multijet events may be expected from WZ and WW sources. The backgrounds to these signals are estimated to be small.
