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

Other Beyond Standard Model Searches at the Tevatron

We present the results of searches for non-standard model phenomena, with focus on signature-based searches and searches driven by non-supersymmetry (non-SUSY) models. The analyses use 1.0--2.5 fb-1 of data from ppbar 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 on the event counts, kinematic distributions, and limits on selected model parameters.Comment: Invited talk at the Hadron Collider Physics Symposium (HCP2008), Galena, Illinois, USA, May 27-31, 2008; 12 pages, LaTeX, 21 eps figure

Search for new physics with photons at the Tevatron

The authors report on a search for compositeness in ee{gamma} events and a search for gauge-mediated supersymmetry in {gamma}{gamma}E{sub T} events. they also report on two signature-based searches for anomalous production of {gamma}{gamma} + X (where X = e, {mu}, {gamma}, E{sub T}) and {gamma}{ell} + X (where X = E{sub T}, {ell}, {gamma}). The analyses are based on 0.9-1.2 fb{sup -1} of data from p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron. No significant excess of data over the predicted background has been observed

Prenatal diagnosis and molecular cytogenetic characterization of de novo partial monosomy 3p (3p26.3→pter) and partial trisomy 16q (16q23.1→qter)

AbstractObjectiveTo present the prenatal diagnosis and molecular cytogenetic characterization of a de novo unbalanced reciprocal translocation.Case ReportA 37-year-old woman, G3P1, underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of her advanced maternal age. Her husband was 38 years old. Amniocentesis revealed a derivative chromosome 3 with the deletion of terminal 3p and the addendum of an unknown extra chromosomal segment on the distal 3p. The parental karyotypes were normal. Prenatal ultrasound findings were unremarkable. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis using cultured amniocytes revealed a 2.38-Mb deletion in 3p26.3 [arr 3p26.3 (1-2,380,760)×1] encompassing 15 genes, which included 3 OMIM genes CHL1, CNTN6, and CNTN4, and a 13.17-Mb duplication in 16q23.1-q24.3 [arr 16q23.1q24.3 (76,999,082-90,170,596)×3] encompassing 207 genes, which included 81 OMIM genes. The pregnancy was subsequently terminated, and a malformed fetus was delivered with facial dysmorphism. Postnatal cord blood analysis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY,der(3)t(3;16)(p26.3;q23.1)dn. Polymorphic DNA marker analysis by quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) on the DNAs extracted from the placenta and parental blood showed a paternal origin of the aberrant chromosome.ConclusionThe aCGH and QF-PCR analyses helped in delineating the genomic imbalance and parental origin of prenatally detected de novo unbalanced reciprocal translocation

Anomalous magnetoresistance in the spinel superconductor LiTi2O4

LiTi2O4 is a unique compound in that it is the only known spinel oxide superconductor. The lack of high quality single crystals has thus far prevented systematic investigations of its transport properties. Here we report a careful study of transport and tunnelling spectroscopy in epitaxial LiTi2O4 thin films. An unusual magnetoresistance is observed which changes from nearly isotropic negative to prominently anisotropic positive as the temperature is decreased. We present evidence that shows that the negative magnetoresistance likely stems from the suppression of local spin fluctuations or spin-orbit scattering centres. The positive magnetoresistance suggests the presence of an orbital-related state, also supported by the fact that the superconducting energy gap decreases as a quadratic function of magnetic field. These observations indicate that the spin-orbital fluctuations play an important role in LiTi2O4 in a manner similar to high-temperature superconductors
