Light, long-lived and secluded: can gluinos be driven out from LEP1 data? O

We briefly report about a possible settlement of the still ongoing dispute concerning the existence of SYSY signals in 4-jet events at LEP1. We base our arguments on a simple selection strategy exploiting secondary vertex tagging and kinematical contraints, which could allow one to access or exclude gluino events for a broad range of masses and lifetimes.
