Ok, fine with me, as long as we make an effort to think about all special cases. A few come to my mind right now: 1. What about gluinos (as far as my limited SUSY knowledge goes, I think in some scenarios they can be LSP's)? 2. Could beam remnants contain anything strange uncharged at parton level? 3. Should we allow e.g. stable Z as final states and treat the Z as visible? Cheers, Frank
