Study of Zγ events and limits on anomalous ZZγ and Zγγ couplings in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV
We present a measurement of the Zγ production cross section and limits on anomalous ZZγ and Zγγ couplings for form-factor scales of Λ=750 and 1000 GeV. The measurement is based on 138 (152) candidates in the eeγ (μμγ) final state using 320(290)pb-1 of pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV. The 95% C.L. limits on real and imaginary parts of individual anomalous couplings are |h10,30Z|<0.23, |h20,40Z|<0.020, |h10,30γ|<0.23, and |h20,40γ|<0.019 for Λ=1000GeV. © 2005 The American Physical Society
Ratio of the Isolated Photon Cross Sections at \sqrt{s} = 630 and 1800 GeV
The inclusive cross section for production of isolated photons has been
measured in \pbarp collisions at GeV with the \D0 detector at
the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The photons span a transverse energy ()
range from 7-49 GeV and have pseudorapidity . This measurement is
combined with to previous \D0 result at GeV to form a ratio
of the cross sections. Comparison of next-to-leading order QCD with the
measured cross section at 630 GeV and ratio of cross sections show satisfactory
agreement in most of the range.Comment: 7 pages. Published in Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 251805, (2001
Quasi-model-independent search for new high physics at D0
We apply a quasi-model-independent strategy ("Sleuth") to search for new high p_T physics in approximately 100 pb^-1 of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV collected by the DZero experiment during 1992-1996 at the Fermilab Tevatron. We systematically analyze many exclusive final states and demonstrate sensitivity to a variety of models predicting new phenomena at the electroweak scale. No evidence of new high p_T physics is observed
Search for single top quark production at D0 using neural networks
We present a search for electroweak production of single top quarks in ~90 pb^-1 of data collected with the DZero detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Using arrays of neural networks to separate signals from backgrounds, we set upper limits on the cross sections of 17 pb for the s-channel process ppbar->tb+X, and 22 pb for the t-channel process ppbar->tqb+X, both at the 95% confidence level
Cross Section for b Jet Production in pbar-p Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV
Bottom quark production in pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV is studied
with 5 inverse picobarns of data collected in 1995 by the DO detector at the
Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The differential production cross section for b
jets in the central rapidity region (|y(b)| < 1) as a function of jet
transverse energy is extracted from a muon-tagged jet sample. Within
experimental and theoretical uncertainties, DO results are found to be higher
than, but compatible with, next-to-leading-order QCD predictions.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Differential cross section for W boson production as a function of transverse momentum in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.8 TeV
We report a measurement of the differential cross section for W boson
production as a function of its transverse momentum in proton-antiproton
collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV. The data were collected by the D0 experiment
at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider during 1994-1995 and correspond to an
integrated luminosity of 85 pb^{-1}. The results are in good agreement with
quantum chromodynamics over the entire range of transverse momentum.Comment: Accepted by Physics Letters
Measurement of the ratio of differential cross sections for W and Z boson production as a function of transverse momentum in pbar p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV
We report on a measurement of the ratio of the differential cross sections
for W and Z boson production as a function of transverse momentum in
proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV. This measurement uses data
recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in 1994-1995. It
represents the first investigation of a proposal that ratios between W and Z
observables can be calculated reliably using perturbative QCD, even when the
individual observables are not. Using the ratio of differential cross sections
reduces both experimental and theoretical uncertainties, and can therefore
provide smaller overall uncertainties in the measured mass and width of the W
boson than current methods used at hadron colliders.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, to be published in Physics Letters
Search for narrow t(t)over-bar resonances in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.8 TeV
A search for narrow resonances that decay into t (t) over bar pairs has been performed using 130 pb(-1) of data in the lepton + jets channel collected by the DO detector in p (p) over bar collisions at roots=1.8 TeV. There is no significant deviation observed from the standard-model predictions at a top-quark mass of 175 GeV/c(2). We therefore present upper limits at the 95% confidence level on the product of the production cross section and branching fraction to t (t) over bar for narrow resonances as a function of the resonance mass M-X. These limits are used to exclude the existence of a leptophobic top-color particle with mass M-X<560 GeV/c(2), using a theoretical cross section for a width Gamma(X)=0.012M(X)
Search for supersymmetry via associated production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three leptons
A search for associated production of charginos and neutralinos is performed using data recorded with the D0 detector at a p (p) over bar center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. This analysis considers final states with missing transverse energy and three charged leptons, of which at least two are electrons or muons. No evidence for supersymmetry is found in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 320 pb(-1). Limits on the product of the production cross section and leptonic branching fraction are set. For the minimal supergravity model, a chargino lower mass limit of 117 GeV at the 95% C.L. is derived in regions of parameter space with enhanced leptonic branching fractions
