Abstract: Graded Hecke algebras can be constructed geometrically, with constructible sheaves and equivariant cohomology. The input consists of a complex reductive group G (possibly disconnected) and a cuspidal local system on a nilpotent orbit for a Levi subgroup of G. We prove that every such "geometric" graded Hecke algebra is naturally isomorphic to the endomorphism algebra of a certain G x C*-equivariant semisimple complex of sheaves on the nilpotent cone

g_{N}

. From there we provide an algebraic description of the G x C*-equivariant bounded derived category of constructible sheaves on

g_{N}

. Namely, it is equivalent with the bounded derived category of finitely generated differential graded modules of a suitable direct sum of graded Hecke algebras. This can be regarded as a categorification of graded Hecke algebras.
