In quantum field theory the term gaugino denotes a field that is a superpartner of a gauge boson. This appears in super Yang-Mills theory. For instance the partner of a gluon in the MSSM is called a gluino, and so on.
In terms of Chern-Weil theory/differential cohomology we have that
gauge bosons are (the quanta of) connections on principal bundle or more generally the even components of superconnections;
gauginos are the odd components of superconnections.
Experimental exclusion bounds of gluino rest masses due to the LHC experiment excludes gluinos/squarks of mass below about 3-4 TeV (Particle Data Group Review 17, figure 113.2 and 113.9):
