摘要：

Photonic events with large missing energy have been observed in e(+)e(-) collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130, 136 and 183 GeV collected in 1997 using the OPAL detector at LEP. Results are presented for event topologies with a single photon and missing transverse energy or with an acoplanar photon pair. Cross-section measurements are performed within the kinematic acceptance of each selection. These results are compared with the expectations from the Standard Model process e(+)e(-) --> v (v) over bar + photon(s). No evidence is observed for new physics contributions to these final states. Using the data at root s = 183 GeV, upper limits on sigma(e(+)e(-) --> XY) BR(X --> Y gamma) and sigma(e(+)e(-) --> XX) BR2 (X --> Y gamma) are derived for the case of stable and invisible Y. These limits apply to single and pair production of excited neutrinos (X = nu*,Y = nu), to neutralino production (X = <(chi)over tilde>(0)(2), Y = <(chi)over tilde>(0)(1)) and to supersymmetric models in which X = <(chi)over tilde>(0)(1) and Y = (G) over bar is a light gravitino.
