Measurement of the shape of the transverse momentum distribution of W bosons produced in pp¯ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV
Physical Review Letters 80:25 (1998) 5498-5503
Abstract:
The shape of the transverse momentum distribution of W bosons (pWT) produced in pp¯ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV is measured with the D0 detector at Fermilab. The result is compared with QCD perturbative and resummation calculations over the pWT range from 0 to 200 GeV/c. The shape of the distribution is consistent with the theoretical prediction. © 1998 The American Physical Society.Measurement of the top quark mass using dilepton events

Abstract:
The D0 Collaboration has performed a measurement of the top quark mass mt based on six candidate events for the process tt- → bW+bW-, where the W bosons decay to eν or μν. This sample was collected during an exposure of the D0 detector to an integrated luminosity of 125pb-1 of √ s = 1.8 TeV pp collisions. We obtain mt = 168.4 ± 12.3(stat) ± 3.6(syst) GeV/c2, consistent with the measurement obtained using single-lepton events. Combination of the single-lepton and dilepton results yields mt = 172.0 ± 7.5 GeV/c2. © 1998 The American Physical Society.Search for first generation scalar leptoquark pairs in pp collisions at √ s = 1.8 TeV

Abstract:
We have searched for first generation scalar leptoquark (LQ) pairs in the ev + jets channel using pp collider data (∫L dt ≈ 115pb-1) collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1992-1996. The analysis yields no candidate events. We combine the results with those from the ee + jets vv + jets channels to obtain 95% confidence level (C.L.) upper limits on the LQ pair production cross section as a function of mass and of β, the branching fraction to a charged lepton. Comparing with the next-to-leading order theory, we set 95% C.L. lower limits on the LQ mass of 225, 204, and 79 GeV/c2 for β = 1, 1/2, and 0, respectively. © 1998 The American Physical Society.Search for heavy pointlike dirac monopoles
Physical Review Letters 81:3 (1998) 524-529
Abstract:
We have searched for central production of a pair of photons with high transverse energies in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV using 70pb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in 1994-1996. If they exist virtual heavy pointlike Dirac monopoles could rescatter pairs of nearly real photons into this final state via a box diagram. We observe no excess of events above background and set lower 95% C.L. limits of 610 870 or 1580 GeV/c2 on the mass of a spin 0 1/2 or 1 Dirac monopole. © 1998 The American Physical Society.Search for top squark pair production in the dielectron channel
