Search for flavor-changing-neutral-current D meson decays

Abstract:

We study the flavor-changing-neutral-current process c→uμ+μ- using 1.3fb-1 of pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV recorded by the D0 detector operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We see clear indications of the charged-current mediated Ds+ and D+→ π+→μ+μ-π+ final states with significance greater than 4 standard deviations above background for the D+ state. We search for the continuum neutral-current decay of D+→π+μ+μ- in the dimuon invariant mass spectrum away from the resonance. We see no evidence of signal above background and set a limit of B(D+→π+μ+μ-)<3.9×10-6 at the 90% C.L. This limit places the most stringent constraint on new phenomena in the c→uμ+μ- transition. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We study the flavor-changing-neutral-current process c-->u micro(+) micro(-) using 1.3 fb(-1) of pp[over ] collisions at square root s = 1.96 TeV recorded by the D0 detector operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We see clear indications of the charged-current mediated D(s)(+) and D(+)-->phipi(+) --> micro(+)micro(-)pi(+) final states with significance greater than 4 standard deviations above background for the D(+) state. We search for the continuum neutral-current decay of D(+)-->pi(+) micro(+) micro(-) in the dimuon invariant mass spectrum away from the phi resonance. We see no evidence of signal above background and set a limit of B(D(+) --> pi(+) micro(+) micro(-))<3.9 x 10(-6) at the 90% C.L. This limit places the most stringent constraint on new phenomena in the c--> u micro(+) micro(-) transition.

Measurement of the shape of the boson-transverse momentum distribution in pp̄→Z/γ*→e+e-+X events produced at s=1.96TeV

Physical Review Letters 100:10 (2008)

Authors:

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the shape of the Z/γ* boson transverse momentum (qT) distribution in pp̄→Z/γ *→e+e-+X events at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV using 0.98fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data are found to be consistent with the resummation prediction at low qT, but above the perturbative QCD calculation in the region of qT>30GeV/c. Using events with qT<30GeV/c, we extract the value of g2, one of the nonperturbative parameters for the resummation calculation. Data at large boson rapidity y are compared with the prediction of resummation and with alternative models that employ a resummed form factor with modifications in the small Bjorken x region of the proton wave function. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Search for Randall-Sundrum gravitons with 1 fb-1 of Data from pp collisions at s=1.96 TeV

Physical Review Letters 100:9 (2008)

Abstract:

We search for decays of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the graviton in the Randall-Sundrum model of extra dimensions to e+e- and in 1 fb-1 of pp collisions at s=1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We set 95% confidence level upper limits on the production cross section times branching fraction, which translate into lower limits on the mass of the lightest excitation between 300 and 900 GeV for values of the coupling k/M Pl between 0.01 and 0.1. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
