Abstract:

We establish the existence of the top quark using a 67 pb-1 data sample of p̄p collisions at s=1.8 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). Employing techniques similar to those we previously published, we observe a signal consistent with tt̄ decay to WWbb̄, but inconsistent with the background prediction by 4.8σ. Additional evidence for the top quark is provided by a peak in the reconstructed mass distribution. We measure the top quark mass to be 176±8(stat)±10(syst) GeV/c2, and the tt̄ production cross section to be 6.8-2.4+3.6 pb. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The properties of two-, three-, four-, five-, and six-jet events with multijet masses >600 GeV /c2 are compared with QCD predictions. The shapes of the multijet-mass and leading-jet-angular distributions are approximately independent of jet multiplicity and are well described by the NJETS matrix element calculation and the HERWIG parton shower Monte Carlo predictions. The observed jet transverse momentum distributions for three- and four-jet events discriminate between the matrix element and parton shower predictions, the data favoring the matrix element calculation. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We have searched for new, heavy, charged bosons W′ through the decay W′→eν in pp̄ collisions at s=1.8 TeV. The data used in the search represent 19.7 pb-1 collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Limits are placed on σB(pp̄→W′→eν) as a function of MW′. Assuming standard couplings of the W′ to fermions, we establish the limit MW′>652 GeV /c2 (95% C.L.). © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We have searched for heavy neutral gauge bosons (Z') in p̄p collisions at s=1.8 TeV. The data were obtained using the CDF detector during the 1992-1993 run corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7±0.7 pb-1. We present a 95% confidence level upper limit on the production cross section times the branching ratio of Z' decaying into dielectrons as a function of Z' mass. Assuming standard model coupling strengths, we exclude a Z' with a mass less than 505 GeV/c2. We also present lower mass limits for Z' bosons from E6 models and the alternative left-right model.
