Abstract
We present the first search for new phenomena in final states with large missing transverse energy using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of collected with the D0 experiment in collisions at . This signature is predicted in gauge-mediated supersymmetry-breaking models, where the lightest neutralino is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle and is produced in pairs, possibly through decay from heavier supersymmetric particles. The can decay either to a boson or a photon and an associated gravitino that escapes detection. We exclude this model at the 95% C.L. for supersymmetry-breaking scales of .
