CTD/STD measurements off the NW African coast near Cabo Conveiro during JOINT-I : R/V GILLISS cruise GS7401 Feb. 9-Apr. 23, 1974

Hydrographic measurements, made with CTD and STD probes in the vicinity of Cabo Corveiro, NW Africa during the JOINT-I experiment in Spring 1974, are presented. Computer plots of the vertical profiles of temperature, salinity, and sigma-t are shown for each hydrographic station. Associated values of temperature, salinity, sigma-t, specific volume anomaly, dynamic height anomaly, and potential energy are tabulated at selected depth intervals. Meteorological and location information for each station is also given

Corrente do Brasil: estrutura térmica entre 19º e 25ºS e circulação geostrófica

In April 1982, an océanographie investigation was conducted off the Brazilian coast in order to obtain the spatial characteristics of the thermal structure and to locate the Brazil Current flow both north and south of the seamount chain at 20º30'S. Dining the survey, remote sensing satellite data were also obtained on several occasions to assist in the delineation of the surface thermal structure. A 23ºC thermostad was observed along most sections. Along sections with stronger baroclinic signatures, such as the one in Cabo Frio, the thermostad seems to be pinched off somewhat similar to the pinching off the 18ºC water in the Gulf Stream North wall. The current structure and volume transports, relative to the 500 dbar isobaric surface, were calculated using both hydrographie station data and the closely spaced XBT measurements. A comparison of these results, for the data observed along the section of Cabo Frio, indicates that some details of the geostrophic currents are lost when the hydrographie data are used; the corresponding volume transports agree within 17% (33 Sv using hydrographie data against 2.8 Sv using XBT data). A volume transport budget, obtained through the transport computation along all sections between 19º and 22ºS, indicates that the Brazil Current appears to flow through the passage between the most inshore banks and not to the east. The net volume transport (2.9 Sv) is in close agreement with the Cabo Frio section volume transport, where the total flow of the Brazil Current was supposedly bracketed by the station sampling.Para obter informações sobre a variação espacial da estrutura térmica e localizar a Corrente do Brasil, ao norte e ao sul dos bancos submarinos localizados a 20º30'S realizou-se, em abril de 1982, um levantamento oceanográfico nessa região. Dados de sensoriamento remoto foram também obtidos durante os trabalhos experimentais para um delineamento sinótico da estrutura térmica de superficie. Observou-se, ao longo da maioria das secções, um "thermostad" de 23ºC na termoclina principal. Ao longo das secções com intenso sinal baroclfnico, tal como na secção ao largo de Cabo Frio, o "thermostad" atenua-se e finalmente desaparece nas proximidades da costa, de forma semelhante ao desaparecimento da água de 18ºC na parede norte da Corrente do Golfo. A estrutura da corrente e o transporte de volume, relativos à superfície isobárica de 500 dbar, foram obtidos usando-se os dados hidrográficos e também as medidas com XBX as quais foram realizadas com espaçamentos muito menores do que o das estações hidrográficas. A comparação desses resultados, para o conjunto de observações conduzidas ao largo de Cabo Frio, indica que detalhes da corrente geostrófica não são delineados quando da utilização dos dados hidrográficos; os correspondentes valores do transporte de volume diferem em aproximadamente 17% (33 e 2,8 Sv, calculados com dados hidrográficos'e de XBX respectivamente). O balanço do transporte de volume, através de todas as secções entre 19 e 22º5, indica que a Corrente do Brasil flui através da passagem entre os bancos localizados mais próximos da costa. O transporte de volume resultante (2,9 Sv) é muito próximo do valor obtido através da secção ao largo de Cabo Frio, onde supõe-se que a extensão transversal da Corrente do Brasil foi delimitada pelo conjunto de observações

Search for bottom squarks in pbarp collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV

We report on a search for bottom squarks produced in pbarp collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV using the D0 detector at Fermilab. Bottom squarks are assumed to be produced in pairs and to decay to the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and a b quark with branching fraction of 100%. The LSP is assumed to be the lightest neutralino and stable. We set limits on the production cross section as a function of bottom squark mass and LSP mass.Comment: 5 pages, Latex. submitted 3-12-1999 to PRD - Rapid Communicatio

Differential Production Cross Section of Z Bosons as a Function of Transverse Momentum at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV

We present a measurement of the transverse momentum distribution of Z bosons produced in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV using data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider during 1994--1996. We find good agreement between our data and a current resummation calculation. We also use our data to extract values of the non-perturbative parameters for a particular version of the resummation formalism, obtaining significantly more precise values than previous determinations.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, submitted to Phys.

Probing BFKL Dynamics in the Dijet Cross Section at Large Rapidity Intervals in ppbar Collisions at sqrt{s}=1800 and 630 GeV

Inclusive dijet production at large pseudorapidity intervals (delta_eta) between the two jets has been suggested as a regime for observing BFKL dynamics. We have measured the dijet cross section for large delta_eta in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1800 and 630 GeV using the DO detector. The partonic cross section increases strongly with the size of delta_eta. The observed growth is even stronger than expected on the basis of BFKL resummation in the leading logarithmic approximation. The growth of the partonic cross section can be accommodated with an effective BFKL intercept of a_{BFKL}(20GeV)=1.65+/-0.07.Comment: Published in Physical Review Letter

Search for Electroweak Production of Single Top Quarks in ppbar Collisions

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.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures. This is the published versio

Search for Squarks and Gluinos in Events Containing Jets and a Large Imbalance in Transverse Energy

Using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79 pb-1, D0 has searched for events containing multiple jets and large missing transverse energy in pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Observing no significant excess beyond what is expected from the standard model, we set limits on the masses of squarks and gluinos and on the model parameters m_0 and m_1/2, in the framework of the minimal low-energy supergravity models of supersymmetry. For tan(beta) = 2 and A_0 = 0, with mu < 0, we exclude all models with m_squark < 250 GeV/c^2. For models with equal squark and gluino masses, we exclude m < 260 GeV/c^2.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, Submitted to PRL, Fixed typo on page bottom of p. 6 (QCD multijet background is 35.4 events

Search for Second Generation Leptoquark Pairs in pbar-p Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV

We have searched for second generation leptoquark (LQ) pairs in the \mu\mu+jets channel using 94+-5 pb^{-1} of pbar-p collider data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1993-1996. No evidence for a signal is observed. These results are combined with those from the \mu\nu+jets and \nu\nu+jets channels to obtain 95% confidence level (C.L.) upper limits on the LQ pair production cross section as a function of mass and $beta, the branching fraction of a LQ decay into a charged lepton and a quark. Lower limits of 200(180) GeV/c^2 for \beta=1(1/2) are set at the 95% C.L. on the mass of scalar LQ. Mass limits are also set on vector leptoquarks as a function of \beta.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures.
