Measurement of the differential cross section for the production of an isolated photon with associated jet in p over(p, ̄) collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV
Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics 666:5 (2008) 435-445
Abstract:
The process p over(p, ̄) → γ + jet + X is studied using 1.0 fb-1 of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p over(p, ̄) collider at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. Photons are reconstructed in the central rapidity region | yγ | < 1.0 with transverse momenta in the range 30 < pTγ < 400 GeV while jets are reconstructed in either the central | yjet | < 0.8 or forward 1.5 < | yjet | < 2.5 rapidity intervals with pTjet > 15 GeV. The differential cross section d3 σ / d pTγ d yγ d yjet is measured as a function of pTγ in four regions, differing by the relative orientations of the photon and the jet in rapidity. Ratios between the differential cross sections in each region are also presented. Next-to-leading order QCD predictions using different parameterizations of parton distribution functions and theoretical scale choices are compared to the data. The predictions do not simultaneously describe the measured normalization and pTγ dependence of the cross section in the four measured regions.Search for Higgs bosons decaying to tau pairs in pp over collisions with the D0 detector.

Abstract:
We present a search for the production of neutral Higgs bosons varphi decaying into tau+tau - final states in pp over collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 1 fb(-1), were collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Limits on the production cross section times branching ratio are set. The results are interpreted in the minimal supersymmetric standard model yielding limits that are the most stringent to date at hadron colliders.Search for pair production of doubly charged Higgs bosons in the H++H- - -->mu+ mu+ mu- mu- final state.

Abstract:
We report the results of a search for pair production of doubly charged Higgs bosons via pp over-->H++H - - X-->mu+ mu+ mu- mu- X at sqrt s=1.96 TeV. We use a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.1 fb(-1) collected from 2002 to 2006 by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. In the absence of an excess above the standard model background, lower mass limits of M(H L +/- +/-) >150 GeV/c2 and M(H R+/- +/-) >127 GeV/c2 at 95% C.L. are set, respectively, for left-handed and right-handed doubly charged Higgs bosons assuming a 100% branching ratio into muons.Search for higgs bosons decaying to tau pairs in pp̄ collisions with the D0 detector
