Abstract:

We report the observation of Bs0- B̄s0 oscillations from a time-dependent measurement of the Bs0-B̄s0 oscillation frequency Δms. Using a data sample of 1 fb-1 of pp collisions at √ = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron, we find signals of 5600 fully reconstructed hadronic B s decays, 3100 partially reconstructed hadronic Bs decays, and 61500 partially reconstructed semileptonic Bs decays. We measure the probability as a function of proper decay time that the Bs decays with the same, or opposite, flavor as the flavor at production, and we find a signal for Bs0-B̄s0 oscillations. The probability that random fluctuations could produce a comparable signal is 8 × 10-8, which exceeds 5σ significance. We measure Δms = 17.77 ± 0.10(stat) ± 0.07(syst) ps-1 and extract |Vtd/Vts| = 0.2060 ± 0.0007(Δms)-0.0060+0.0081 (Δmd + theor). © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report the results of a search for a charged Higgs boson in the decays of top quarks produced in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. We use a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 193pb-1 collected by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab. No evidence for charged Higgs production is found, allowing 95% C.L. upper limits to be placed on BR(t→H+b) for different charged Higgs decay scenarios. In addition, we present in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (mH±,tan β) plane the first exclusion regions with radiative and Yukawa coupling corrections. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

We search for excited and exotic muon states * using an integrated luminosity of 371pb-1 of pp collision data at s=1.96TeV. We search for associated production of * followed by the decay *. We compare the data to model predictions as a function of the mass of the excited muon M *, the compositeness energy scale , and the gauge coupling factor f.
