Abstract:

Using the data collected with the DO detector at √ s = 1-96 TeV, for integrated luminosities of about 180 pb-1, we have measured the ratio of inclusive cross sections for pp̄ → Z + b jet to pp̄ → Z + jet production. The inclusive Z + b-jet reaction is an important background to searches for the Higgs boson in associated ZH production at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Our measurement is the first of its kind, and relies on the Z → e+e- and Z → μ+ μ- modes. The combined measurement of the ratio yields 0.021 ± 0.005 for hadronic jets with transverse momenta pT > 20 GeV/c and pseudorapidities |η| < 2.5, consistent with next-to-leading-order predictions of the standard model. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Using the data collected with the D0 detector at square root(s) = 1.96 TeV, for integrated luminosities of about 180 pb(-1), we have measured the ratio of inclusive cross sections for pp --> Z + b jet to pp --> Z + jet production. The inclusive Z + b-jet reaction is an important background to searches for the Higgs boson in associated ZH production at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Our measurement is the first of its kind, and relies on the Z --> e+ e- and Z --> mu+ mu- modes. The combined measurement of the ratio yields 0.021+/-0.005 for hadronic jets with transverse momenta pT > 20 GeV/c and pseudorapidities absolute value(eta) < 2.5, consistent with next-to-leading-order predictions of the standard model.

Measurement of the WW production cross section in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.96 TeV

Physical Review Letters 94:15 (2005)

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the W boson pair-production cross section in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 1.96 TeV. The data, collected with the Run II D0 detector at Fermilab, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 224-252 pb-1 depending on the final state (ee, eμ, or μμ). We observe 25 candidates with a background expectation of 8.1 ± 0.6(stat) ± 0.6(syst) ± 0.5(1um) events. The probability for an upward fluctuation of the background to produce the observed signal is 2.3 X 10~7, equivalent to 5.2 standard deviations. The measurement yields a cross section of 13.8-3.8+4.3(stat)-0.9+1.2(syst) ±0,9(1um) pb, in agreement with predictions from the standard model. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We search for anomalous production of heavy-flavor quark jets in association with W bosons at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ Collider in final states in which the heavy-flavor quark content is enhanced by requiring at least one tagged jet in an event. Jets are tagged using one algorithm based on semileptonic decays of b/c hadrons, and another on their lifetimes. We compare e + jets (164 pb-1) and μ + jets (145 pb-1) channels collected with the D0 detector at √s = 1.96 TeV to expectations from the standard model and set upper limits on anomalous production of such events. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the cross section for Z production times the branching fraction to τ leptons, σ·Br(Z → τ⁺τ^-), in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV in the channel in which one τ decays into μνμν τ, and the other into hadrons + ντ or eνeντ. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 226 pb^-1 collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The final sample contains 2008 candidate events with an estimated background of 55%. From this we obtain σ·Br(Z → τ⁺τ^-) = 237 ± 15(stat) ± 18(sys) ± 15(lum)pb, in agreement with the standard model prediction. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
