We use isajet to perform a detailed study of the missing transverse energy E/T plus multijet signal expected from superparticle production at the CERN LHC. Our analysis is performed within the framework of the minimal supergravity model with gauge coupling unification and radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. We delineate the region of parameter space where the E/T supersymmetry signal should be observable at the LHC and compare it to the regions explorable via searches for sleptons and for chargino or neutralino production. We confirm that, given a data sample of 10 fb^-1,mg ̃ \~{}{}{~}1300 GeV can be explored if mq ̃ \~{}{}{}mg ̃ \~{}{}, while mg ̃ \~{}{}{~}2000 GeV can be probed if mq ̃ \~{}{}{}mg ̃ \~{}{}. We further examine what information can be gleaned from scrutinizing this event sample. For instance the multijet multiplicity yields information on whether squark production makes a significant contribution to the observed E/T sample. Furthermore reconstructing hemispheric masses may yield a measure of mg ̃ \~{}{} to {~}15--25 % if gluinos are lighter than 700--800 GeV. Finally, for favorable ranges of parameters, by reconstructing masses of tagged b b{} jet pairs, it may be possible to detect Higgs bosons produced via sparticle cascade decay chains.
