21. We assume for simplicity that the SUSY (Formula presented)-violating phases are vanishing. The end point is determined by only the SUSY particle masses, not coupling constants. Thus the dependence on the (Formula presented)-violating phases appears through the SUSY particle masses.

25. For the results shown in this paper, we simply reject events with visible leptons; (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) However for point C in Table I, events with leptons with (Formula presented) are rejected.
26. Strictly speaking the lower bound of the integral is slightly above (Formula presented) However, as we use a limited (Formula presented) range around the (upper) end point for the fit, this formula gives good approximation.
27. In these sets, the SUSY particles decay into two bodies dominantly. If the relevant two-body decays of gluino or top squarks are closed, the distribution of (Formula presented) at the end point does not have an edge and the significance is worse.

32. For events with (Formula presented) the gluino decay into (Formula presented) starts to contribute.
