Jet Physics at the Tevatron

Results are presented from analyses of jet data produced in pbarp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1960 GeV collected with the DZero and CDF detectors during 2002--03 at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Preliminary measurements of the inclusive jet cross section, the dijet mass spectrum, and jet structure are presented.Comment: Invited talk at the XXIII Physics in Collisions Conference (PIC03), Zeuthen, Germany, June 2003, 10 pages, LaTeX, 18 eps figures.

Heteronuclear bimetallic complexes with 3d and 4f elements

Three heteronuclear bimetallic complexes [Cu(MeOH)(L)Ln(NO3)3] ( 1-Ce ; Ln = Ce, 1-Pr ; Ln = Pr, and 1-Nd ; Ln = Nd) were prepared using H2L (1,3-bis[(3-methoxysalicylidene)amino]-2,2-dimethylpropane) in methanol, affording the complexes as green crystalline materials. These can be prepared in a one-pot synthesis from 2,2-dimethylpropan-1,3-diamine, o-vanillin, copper(II) nitrate, and Ln(III) nitrate (Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd). X-ray crystallography, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and UV-vis spectroscopy were used to characterize the bimetallic complexes. All three complexes showed the copper center adopting a five-coordinate square pyramidal geometry and the lanthanoid cation adopting a ten-coordinate geometry.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

Combined Forward-Backward Asymmetry Measurements in Top-Antitop Quark Production at the Tevatron

The CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron have measured the asymmetry between yields of forward- and backward-produced top and antitop quarks based on their rapidity difference and the asymmetry between their decay leptons. These measurements use the full data sets collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt s =1.96$ TeV. We report the results of combinations of the inclusive asymmetries and their differential dependencies on relevant kinematic quantities. The combined inclusive asymmetry is $A_{\mathrm{FB}}^{t\bar{t}} = 0.128 \pm 0.025$. The combined inclusive and differential asymmetries are consistent with recent standard model predictions
