Model Independent Searches for New Physics at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider

Abstract

The standard model is a successful but limited theory. There is significant theoretical motivation to believe that new physics may appear at the energy scale of a few TeV, the lower end of which is currently probed by the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The methods used to search for physics beyond the standard model in a model independent way and the results of these searches based on 1.0 fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector and 2.0 fb^-1 at the CDF detector are presented.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, moriond.sty, subfigure.sty, Conference Proceeding for The XLIVth Rencontres de Moriond session devoted to QCD and High Energy Interactions, La Thuile, Italy, March 14-21, 200
