Search for dark matter candidates and large extra dimensions in events with a jet and missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS detector
Journal of High Energy Physics 2013:4 (2013)
Abstract:
A search for new phenomena in events with a high-energy jet and large missing transverse momentum is performed using data from proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Four kinematic regions are explored using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb-1. No excess of events beyond expectations from Standard Model processes is observed, and limits are set on large extra dimensions and the pair production of dark matter particles. © 2013 CERN, for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration.Exclusion of exotic top-like quarks with -4/3 electric charge using jet-charge tagging in single-lepton ttbar events at CDF

Exclusion of exotic top-like quarks with -4/3 electric charge using jet-charge tagging in single-lepton ttbar events at CDF
ArXiv 1304.4141 (2013)
Abstract:
We report on a measurement of the top-quark electric charge in ttbar events in which one W boson originating from the top-quark pair decays into leptons and the other into hadrons. The event sample was collected by the CDF II detector in sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions and corresponds to 5.6 fb^(-1). We find the data to be consistent with the standard model and exclude the existence of an exotic quark with -4/3 electric charge and mass of the conventional top quark at the 99% confidence level.Search for Bs0→μ+μ- and B0→μ+μ- decays with the full CDF Run II data set

Abstract:
We report on a search for Bs0→μ+μ- and B0→μ+μ- decays using proton-antiproton collision data at √s=1.96 TeV corresponding to 10 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The observed number of B0 candidates is consistent with background-only expectations and yields an upper limit on the branching fraction of B(B0→μ+μ-)<4.6×10-9 at 95% confidence level. We observe an excess of Bs0 candidates. The probability that the background processes alone could produce such an excess or larger is 0.94%. The probability that the combination of background and the expected standard model rate of Bs0→μ+μ- could produce such an excess or larger is 6.8%. These data are used to determine a branching fraction B(Bs0→μ+μ-)=(1.3-0.7+0.9) ×10-8 and provide an upper limit of B(Bs0→μ +μ-)<3.1×10-8 at 95% confidence level. © 2013 American Physical Society.Search for WH production with a light Higgs boson decaying to prompt electron-jets in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
