Description
Using supersymmetry search with trileptons as an example, we address the problem of discerning
new physics when it manifests itself in multiple channels simultaneously with several models vying
to accommodate the findings. This is best achieved by presenting experimental results in a model-
independent fashion, but suitably parametrized to allow for their interpretation in most models. The
interpretation of recent supersymmetric trilepton searches at the hadron collider experiments has
been restricted to the mSUGRA model. We show how to extend the trilepton results to other models
by categorizing the experimental sensitivity by the τ lepton content of the signal and parametrizing it
in terms of three key superparticle masses. We demonstrate our method by applying it to the recent
Tevatron bounds and estimate the future Tevatron sensitivity in the trilepton channel. Further, we
systematically identify the trilepton-rich sectors of the superpartner mass parameter space and also
evaluate the τ -lepton flavor content of the signal.
