    We present a search for electroweak production of single top quarks in the electron+jets and muon+jets decay channels. The measurements use ~90 pb^-1 of data from Run 1 of the Fermilab Tevatron collider, collected at 1.8 TeV with the DZero detector between 1992 and 1995. We use events that include a tagging muon, implying the presence of a b jet, to set an upper limit at the 95% confidence level on the cross section for the s-channel process ppbar->tb+X of 39 pb. The upper limit for the t-channel process ppbar->tqb+X is 58 pb. (arXiv

    Based on 85 pb−1^{-1} data of \ppbar collisions at s=1.8\sqrt{s}=1.8 \tev\ collected using the D{\O}detector at Fermilab during the 1994-1995 run of the Tevatron, we present a direct measurement of the total decay width of the \wb\ boson, ΓW\Gamma_W. The width is determined from the transverse mass spectrum in the W→e+ÎœeW \to e+\nu_e decay channel and found to be ΓW=2.23−0.14+0.15\Gamma_W = 2.23^{+ 0.15}_{- 0.14}(stat.)±0.10\pm 0.10(syst.)GeV, consistent with the expectation from the standard model

    We present a search for large extra dimensions (ED) in p-pbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV using data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in 1994-1996. Data corresponding to 78.8 +/- 3.9 pb^-1 are examined for events with large missing transverse energy, one high-p_T jet, and no isolated muons. With no excess beyond the background prediction from the standard model, we place limits on the fundamental Planck scale of 1 TeV (0.6 TeV) for 2 (7) ED
