TL;DR: In this article, the DELPHI data were used to search for the supersymmetric partners of electron, muon and tau leptons and of top and bottom quarks.
Abstract: Data taken by DELPHI during the 1995 and 1996 LEP runs have been used to search for the supersymmetric partners of electron, muon and tau leptons and of top and bottom quarks. The observations are in agreement with standard model predictions. Limits are set on sfermion masses. Searches for long lived scalar leptons from low scale supersymmetry breaking models exclude stau masses below 55 GeV/c2 at the 95% confidence level, irrespective of the gravitino mass.

TL;DR: In this article, the DELPHI detector was used to search for processes of the type e+e- → YY with the subsequent decay Y → X7, where X is an undetectable neutral particle.
Abstract: The events with two photons and missing (transverse) energy collected by the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies between 130 GeV and 183 GeV have been studied to search for processes of the type e+e- → YY with the subsequent decay Y → X7, where X is an undetectable neutral particle. Reactions of this kind are expected in supersymmetric models, where the Y particle can be either the lightest neutralino, decaying to a photon and a gravitino, or the next-to-lightest neutralino, decaying to a photon and the lightest neutralino. To study the case of long-lived Y particles, a search for single-photon events with the reconstructed photon axis pointing far from the beam interaction region has also been performed. No evidence for a deviation from Standard Model expectations has been observed in the data and upper limits have been derived on the signal cross-section as a function of the the X and Y masses and of the Y mean decay path.
TL;DR: In this article, the mass of charginos was found to be greater than 85.5~GeV/$c^2$ for $m{ ilde{chi}^+_1}-m_{ ilde { au}_ 1}geq 0.3

TL;DR: In this article, the partial decay width of the Z to b-hadron quark pairs was measured by DELPHI detector at LEP using data taken in the years 1992 to 1995 using tracks with large impact parameters and reconstructed secondary vertices, complemented by event shape variables.
Abstract: The partial decay width of the Z to $\bb$ quark pairs has beenmeasured by the DELPHI detector at LEP using data taken in the years1992 to 1995.Decays of b-hadrons were tagged by several methods usingtracks with large impact parameters and/or reconstructed secondary vertices, complemented by event shape variables.Combining these methods in a multivariate analysis the value\[\frac{\Gamma({\mathrm Z \rightarrow \bb}) }{ \Gamma({\mathrm {Z \rightarrow had}}) } = 0.21634 \pm 0.00067({\mathrm {stat}}) \pm 0.00060 ({\mathrm {syst}})\]was obtained, where the ${\mathrm c} \bar {\mathrm c}$ production fractionwas fixed to its Standard Model value.
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass of the neutral Higgs boson with either an on-shell Z boson or a neutral pseudo-scalar Higgs particle was investigated at DELPHI at a center-of-mass energy of 183 GeV.
Abstract: Neutral Higgs bosons were searched for in the data collected by DELPHI at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 54 pb\(^{-1}\). The production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson with either an on-shell Z boson or a neutral pseudo-scalar Higgs boson was analysed. Lower limits at the 95% confidence level were obtained on the Higgs boson masses. The limits are 85.7 GeV/\(c^2\) for the Standard Model Higgs boson and 74.4 GeV/\(c^2\) for the scalar and 75.3 GeV/\(c^2\) for the pseudo-scalar Higgs bosons as predicted by the minimal super-symmetric extension of the Standard Model with commonly used assumptions on the model parameters, plus the assumption that the mass of the pseudo-scalar boson is greater than 20 GeV/\(c^2\). These results significantly improve the limits reached with previous data.
