Search for anomalous production of diphoton events with missing transverse energy at CDF and limits on gauge-mediated supersymmetry-breaking models

We present the results of a search for anomalous production of diphoton events with large missing transverse energy using the Collider Detector at Fermilab. In 202 \invpb of \ppbar collisions at s=1.96\sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV we observe no candidate events, with an expected standard model background of 0.27±0.07(stat)±0.10(syst)0.27\pm0.07({\rm stat})\pm0.10({\rm syst}) events. The results exclude a lightest chargino of mass less than 167 GeV/c2c^2, and lightest neutralino of mass less than 93 GeV/c2c^2 at 95% C.L. in a gauge--mediated supersymmetry-- breaking model with a light gravitino.
