Abstract:

The D0 Collaboration has measured the inclusive jet cross section in barpp collisions at square root of s = 630 GeV. The results for pseudorapidities (eta)<0.5 are combined with our previous results at square root of s = 1800 GeV to form a ratio of cross sections with smaller uncertainties than either individual measurement. Next-to-leading-order QCD predictions show excellent agreement with the measurement at 630 GeV; agreement is also satisfactory for the ratio. Specifically, despite a 10% to 15% difference in the absolute magnitude, the dependence of the ratio on jet transverse momentum is very similar for data and theory.

Abstract:

A new measurement of the pseudorapidity (η) and transverse-energy (ET) dependence of the inclusive jet production cross section was carried out. The differential cross section d²σ/(�巡Tdη) was considered as a function of jet ET in five intervals of up to |η| = 3. Results were compared with next-to-leading order predictions from QCD.

Search for large extra dimensions in dielectron and diphoton production

Physical Review Letters 86:7 (2001) 1156-1161

Authors:

Abstract:

The search for large extra spatial dimensions at hadron colliders was performed by looking for effects of virtual Kaluza-Klein gravitons in the production of dielectrons and diphotons at high energies. No evidence was found for large extra dimension (ED). A model-independent 95% C.L. upper limit of 0.46 TeV-4 was set on the parameter nG.

Abstract:

We apply a quasi-model-independent strategy (“SLEUTH”) to search for new high [Formula Presented] physics in ≈100 [Formula Presented] of [Formula Presented] collisions at [Formula Presented] collected by the DØ experiment during 1992–1996 at the Fermilab Tevatron. Over 32 [Formula Presented] [Formula Presented] [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] exclusive final states are systematically analyzed for hints of physics beyond the standard model. Simultaneous sensitivity to a variety of models predicting new phenomena at the electroweak scale is demonstrated by testing the method on a particular signature in each set of final states. No evidence of new high [Formula Presented] physics is observed in the course of this search, and we find that 89% of an ensemble of hypothetical similar experimental runs would have produced a final state with a candidate signal more interesting than the most interesting observed in these data. © 2001 The American Physical Society.

Search for dilepton signatures from minimal low-energy supergravity in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV

Physical Review D 63:9 (2001)

Authors:

Abstract:

We report on a search for supersymmetry using the DØ detector. The 1994-1996 data sample of √s = 1.8 TeV pp̄ collisions was analyzed for events containing two leptons (e or μ), two or more jets, and missing transverse energy. Assuming the minimal supergravity model, with A0 = 0 and μ < 0, various thresholds were employed to optimize the search. No events were found beyond expectation from the background. We set a lower limit at the 95% C.L. of 255 GeV/c2 for equal mass squarks and gluinos for tan β = 2, and present exclusion contours in the (m0, m1/2) plane for tan β = 2-6.
