Search for scalar top and scalar bottom quarks in pp collisions at square root s=1.8 TeV.
Phys Rev Lett 84:25 (2000) 5704-5709
Abstract:
We have searched for direct pair production of scalar top and scalar bottom quarks in 88 pb-1 of pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1.8 TeV with the CDF detector. We looked for events with a pair of heavy flavor jets and missing energy, consistent with scalar top (bottom) quark decays to a charm (bottom) quark and a neutralino. The numbers of events that pass our selections show no significant deviation from standard model expectations. We compare our results to the next-to-leading order scalar quark production cross sections to exclude regions in scalar quark-neutralino mass parameter space.Measurement of the differential dijet mass cross section in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV

Abstract:
We present a measurement of the cross section for production of two or more jets as a function of dijet mass, based on an integrated luminosity of 86 pb-1 collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Our dijet mass spectrum is described within errors by next-to-leading order QCD predictions using CTEQ4HJ parton distributions, and is in good agreement with a similar measurement from the DØ experiment. ©2000 the American Physical Society.Measurement of sin2β from B→J/ψKS 0 with the CDF detector

Abstract:
This paper reports an updated measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin 2β using the CDF Detector at Fermilab. The entire run I data sample of 110 pb-1 of proton-antiproton collisions at √s =1.8 TeV is used to identify a signal sample of ∼400 B→J/ψKS0 events, where J/ψ→μ+μ- and KS0 →π+π-. The flavor of the neutral B meson is identified at the time of production by combining information from three tagging algorithms: a same-side tag, a jet-charge tag, and a soft-lepton tag. A maximum likelihood fitting method is used to determine sin2β=0.19-0.44+0.41(stat+syst). This value of sin 2β is consistent with the standard model prediction, based upon existing measurements, of a large positive CP-violating asymmetry in this decay mode. ©2000 The American Physical Society.Measurement of bb̄ rapidity correlations in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV

Abstract:
We report the first direct measurement of bb̄ rapidity correlations in pp̄ collisions at √=1.8 TeV. We select events with a high transverse momentum muon accompanied by a jet, and a second jet associated with a decay vertex displaced from the pp̄ interaction vertex. Two independent samples are obtained corresponding to events with a forward (2.0<|η|<2.6) or central (|η|<0.6) muon. We measure the ratio of forward to central bb̄ production to be 0.361±0.033(stat)-0.031+0.015(syst), in good agreement with the next-to-leading order QCD prediction 0.338-0.097+0.014. ©2000 The American Physical Society.Limits on light gravitino production and new processes with large missing transverse energy in pp¯ collisions at √s = 1.8TeV
