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.

Abstract:

The ratio of the branching fraction from particle collisions were measured. The data was recorded by the Collider Detector at fermilab during the Tevatron run. The measured values were in agreement with the standard model predictions. The measurements yielded a limit on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix element.
