Abstract:

We have searched for first generation scalar leptoquark (LQ) pairs in the ev + jets channel using pp collider data (∫L dt ≈ 115pb-1) collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1992-1996. The analysis yields no candidate events. We combine the results with those from the ee + jets vv + jets channels to obtain 95% confidence level (C.L.) upper limits on the LQ pair production cross section as a function of mass and of β, the branching fraction to a charged lepton. Comparing with the next-to-leading order theory, we set 95% C.L. lower limits on the LQ mass of 225, 204, and 79 GeV/c2 for β = 1, 1/2, and 0, respectively. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We have searched for central production of a pair of photons with high transverse energies in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV using 70pb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in 1994-1996. If they exist virtual heavy pointlike Dirac monopoles could rescatter pairs of nearly real photons into this final state via a box diagram. We observe no excess of events above background and set lower 95% C.L. limits of 610 870 or 1580 GeV/c2 on the mass of a spin 0 1/2 or 1 Dirac monopole. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We search for new long-lived particles which decay to Z0 bosons by looking for Z0→e+e- decays with displaced vertices. We find no evidence for parent particles pf the Z0 with long lifetimes in 90 pb-1 of data from the CDF experiment at Fermilab. We set a cross section limit as a function of the lifetime of the parent particle for both a generic Z0 parent and a fourth-generation, charge -1/3 quark that decays into Z0b. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

This report describes the first search for top squark pair production in the channel (Formula presented)+jets+(Formula presented) using (Formula presented) pb(Formula presented) of data collected using the DØ detector. A 95% confidence level upper limit on (Formula presented) is presented. The limit is above the theoretical expectation for (Formula presented) for this process, but does show the sensitivity of the current DØ data set to a particular topology for new physics. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
