Abstract:

A search for narrow resonances decaying to tt̄ pairs was carried out. No significant deviation was observed from the standard-model predictions at a top-quark mass of 175 GeV/c2. Upper limits were established at the 95% confidence level on the product of the production cross section and branching fraction to tt̄ for narrow resonances as a function of the resonance mass Mx. The existence of a leptophobic top-color particle with mass Mx<560 GeV/c2 was excluded for a width T x = 0.012Mx.

Abstract:

The results of a search for direct pair production of scalar top quarks (t̃), the supersymmetric partners of the top quark were presented. Events containing two or more jets and missing transverse energy, the signature of light scalar top quark decays to charm quarks and neutralinos were investigated. 27 events were observed after the selection, while expecting 31.1±6.4 events from known standard model processes. The results were compared to next-to-leading-order production cross sections, and a significant region of t̃ and neutralino phase space was excluded.
