Searches for New Physics at the Tevatron in Photon and Jet Final States

We present the results of searches for non-standard model phenomena in photon and jet final states. These searches use data from integrated luminosities of 0.7--2.7/fb of p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron. No significant excess in data has been observed. We report limits on the parameters of several models, including: large extra dimension, compositeness, leptoquarks, and supersymmetry.Comment: Proceedings for the Moriond 2009 EW session 7 pages, 6 figure

Review of Recent Tevatron Jet, W/Z+Jet and Heavy-flavor Production Results

This document reviews several recent measurements at the Fermilab Tevatron, including the cross sections of inclusive jet, dijet production, the cross sections of electroweak boson (W or Z) production in association with inclusive or heavy-flavor (b or c) jets, and b-jet shapes. In addition, searches for new physics using the dijet angular distributions are discussed. These analyses are based on integrated luminosities of 0.3--2.5/fb of p-pbar collisions at \sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF and D0 detectors. The results directly test the leading order and next-to leading order calculations of perturbative quantum chromodynamics and provide constraints on the parton distribution functions, gluon-splitting contribution, and physics beyond the standard model.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, Proceedings for Photon 200

Search for Higgs at CDF

We present the results on the searches for the SM and the non-SM Higgs boson production in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using data corresponding to 300--700pb-1, we search for the Higgs boson in various production and decay channels. No signal is observed, therefore, we set upper limits on the production cross-section times branching fraction as a function of the Higgs boson mass.Comment: to appear in Proceedings of SUSY06, the 14th International Conference on Supersymmetry and the Unification of Fundamental Interactions, UC Irvine, California, 12-17 June 200

Search for Anomalous Production of Photon, b-jet, and Missing Transverse Energy at CDF

We report the results of two signature-based searches for new physics using 1.9- 2.0 fb-1 of data collected at the CDF experiment. Both analyses look in events containing a photon, a b-tagged jet, and missing transverse energy. The first search requires an additional jet. The second search requires an extra electron or muon. No significant excess of events over the Standard Model prediction is observed. We also describe the "CES/CPR" method which is used to estimate the amount of mis-identified photons.Comment: Poster at the 34th International Conference on High Energy Physics, ICHEP08, Philadelphia, USA, July 2008. 3 pages, LaTeX, 2 eps figure
