    We present a measurement of the cross sections for the associated production of a WW boson with at least one heavy quark jet, bb or cc, in proton-antiproton collisions. Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb1^{-1} recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron \ppbar Collider at s=1.96\sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV are used to measure the cross sections differentially as a function of the jet transverse momenta in the range 20 to 150 GeV. These results are compared to calculations of perturbative QCD theory as well as predictions from Monte Carlo generators.We present a measurement of the cross sections for the associated production of a WW boson with at least one heavy quark jet, bb or cc, in proton-antiproton collisions.

    Studies of X(3872)X(3872) and ψ(2S)\psi(2S) production in ppˉp\bar{p} collisions at 1.96 TeV

    International audienceWe present various properties of the production of the X(3872) and ψ(2S) states based on 10.4  fb-1 collected by the D0 experiment in Tevatron pp¯ collisions at s=1.96  TeV. For both states, we measure the nonprompt fraction fNP of the inclusive production rate due to decays of b-flavored hadrons. We find the fNP values systematically below those obtained at the LHC. The fNP fraction for ψ(2S) increases with transverse momentum, whereas for the X(3872) it is constant within large uncertainties, in agreement with the LHC results. The ratio of prompt to nonprompt ψ(2S) production, (1-fNP)/fNP, decreases only slightly going from the Tevatron to the LHC, but for the X(3872), this ratio decreases by a factor of about 3. We test the soft-pion signature of the X(3872) modeled as a weakly bound charm-meson pair by studying the production of the X(3872) as a function of the kinetic energy of the X(3872) and the pion in the X(3872)π center-of-mass frame. For a subsample consistent with prompt production, the results are incompatible with a strong enhancement in the production of the X(3872) at the small kinetic energy of the X(3872) and the π in the X(3872)π center-of-mass frame expected for the X+soft-pion production mechanism. For events consistent with being due to decays of b hadrons, there is no significant evidence for the soft-pion effect, but its presence at the level expected for the binding energy of 0.17 MeV and the momentum scale Λ=M(π) is not ruled out

    Search for Violation of CPTCPT and Lorentz invariance in Bs0{B_s^0} meson oscillations

    No full text
    We present the first search for CPT-violating effects in the mixing of Bs0{B_s^0} mesons using the full Run II data set with an integrated luminosity of 10.4 fb1^{-1} of proton-antiproton collisions collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We measure the CPT-violating asymmetry in the decay Bs0μ±Ds±B_s^0 \to \mu^\pm D_s^\pm as a function of celestial direction and sidereal phase. We find no evidence for CPT-violating effects and place limits on the direction and magnitude of flavor-dependent CPT- and Lorentz-invariance violating coupling coefficients. We find 95\% confidence intervals of Δa<1.2×1012\Delta a_{\perp} < 1.2 \times 10^{-12} GeV and (0.8<ΔaT0.396ΔaZ<3.9)×1013(-0.8 < \Delta a_T - 0.396 \Delta a_Z < 3.9) \times 10^{-13} GeV

    Measurement of the direct CP violating charge asymmetry in B±μ±νμD0B^\pm \rightarrow \mu^\pm \nu_\mu D^{0} decays

    We present the first measurement of the CP violating charge asymmetry in B±μ±νμD0B^\pm \to \mu^\pm \nu_\mu {D}^0 decays using the full Run II integrated luminosity of 10.4 fb1^{-1} in proton-antiproton collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We measure a difference in the yield of BB^- and B+B^+ mesons in these decays by fitting the reconstructed invariant mass distributions. This results in an asymmetry of AμD0=[0.03±0.27]%A^{\mu D^{0}} =\left[ -0.03 \pm 0.27 \right]\%, which is consistent with standard model predictions.We present the first measurement of the CP violating charge asymmetry in B±→μ±νμD0 decays using the full Run II integrated luminosity of 10.4  fb-1 in proton-antiproton collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.
