Abstract:

An overview is given of a search for new physics beyond the standard model, assuming nothing about the expected characteristics of the new processes other than they will produce an excess of events at high transverse momentum (PT). A quasi-model-independent strategy (Sleuth) is applied to many exclusive final states in a data sample corresponding to 100 pb1 of pp collisions. The resulting data is analyzed in detail.

We are reporting preliminary results of studies of R59000-00-M16 and M64 tubes, manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics, to he employed by the MINOS neutrino experiment. Our tests focused on anode response uniformity, gain, cross-talk, and linearity for light illuminating PMTs through a 1.2mm diameter fiber. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

MINOS the main injector neutrino oscillation search

NUCL PHYS B-PROC SUP 98 (2001) 57-64

Abstract:

MINOS is a neutrino experiment which uses a beam of neutrinos from the Fermilab main injector to determine the parameters of possible neutrino oscillations. It consists of two detectors: a near detector to measure the beam composition at the production site and a far detector 730 km away to re-measure the composition and detect any oscillation which may have occurred. MINOS is a tracking calorimeter build from solid plastic scintillators to measure all the neutrino interactions.

Abstract:

The inclusive jet cross section in p̄p collisions at √s = 630 GeV was measured. Many uncertainties in the results were observed. Despite a 10% to 15% difference in the absolute magnitude, the dependence of the ratio on jet transverse momentum was very similar for data and theory.

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.
