LEPC July 2000 DELPHI Status Or... Should we extend the run? W.Murray
Talk Overview • Data taking efficiency and Detector performance • Standard model results • Searches • Supersymmetry • Exotica • Higgs (& ZZ production!) • Conclusions W.Murray
Performance of DELPHI • Efficiency good, average 93.3% • 112.4pb-1 recorded on 20th July • Includes 2.2pb-1 recorded outside declared physics • Congratulations to the pit team W.Murray
TPC Voltage problems • HV problems: • wire slack in sector 6 of 12 • Each trip requires new working point, • ~10 Trips so far • We ran OK for 1 month • Sense wire voltage now reduced from 1435V to 1410V W.Murray
TPC sector 6 • 1/12 running at reduced voltage, gain 40% • Some compensation with shaper settings • DeDx distorted • Z0 run shows efficiency OK • TPC experts suffering more than the data so far Current running W.Murray
VD performance • No new problems in vertex detector • Resolution as good as ever • 10-20mm motion being tracked. • We welcome the Z0’s in September W.Murray
S/ distribution L=87.75pb-1 • qq centre of mass energy/ECM, estimated from jet angles • Agreement with PYTHIA 6125 W.Murray

Search for c+ production Charginos excluded to kinematic limit Mc+>102.2GeV/c2 for dM>10GeV/c2 Not allowed with tanb>=1 W.Murray
LSP mass limit Using c0 and c+ limits up to 2000, DELPHI can exclude LSP below 38.2GeV/c2 Limit at tan b=1, and assuming GUT gauge mass relation. If Higgs 0.8 - 2.0 tan b exclusion applied, we get: 49GeV/c2tan b above 2.0 42GeV/c2tan b below 0.8 - Assumes mt=175GeV/c2 and m0 < 1TeV W.Murray

hA search bbbb search • Small excess in bbbb channel. • Correlated with ZZ, HZ, Technicolour • Not very significant W.Murray
MSSM Higgs limits Since 1999: • gain of 1.2 GeV in expected limits • loss of 0.5-1 GeV in observed due to the excess in 4b's • tan b between 0.8 and 2.0 is excluded in the pessimistic ‘mh-max’ scenario for mtop=175 • tan b range is 0.6 to 4.2 in the ‘no mixing’ scenario W.Murray
Summary • DELPHI performance is good and well understood • Standard model physics processes normal • No significant signals observed Our thanks to all the LEP team W.Murray
Running Request • To accumulate, as soon as possible, 10pb-1 at the highest possible energy. Presently this seems to be feasible running with the 2*2 scheme. • In September evaluate the possibility to achieve a three sigma Higgs discovery and continue to run until it is excluded that it can be reached before Christmas. Depending upon the conclusion: • Use the reserve weeks to possibly run at higher energy by going to negative frequency shift (possibly compromising the detector backgrounds) and thus gaining 500MeV ECM • Support a dedicated run at the W mass threshold in order to provide a competitive and independent measurement of the mass of the W. This run should aim to collect 200pb-1 before Christmas. W.Murray
