Abstract:

The direct search for charged Higgs boson in decays of top quarks was presented. The observations were recorded at the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tratron collider. Results showed that the direct search for charged Higgs bosons in top quark decay showed no evidence of signal for MH±<150 GeV.

Abstract:

We present a search for charged Higgs bosons in decays of pair-produced top quarks in pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. With no evidence for signal, we exclude most regions of the ( M(H+/-),tan(beta)) parameter space where the decay t--> H(+)b has a branching fraction >0.36 and B(H+/--->tau(nu)(tau)) is large.

Abstract:

The origin and source of CP violation in fundamental fermion interactions was discussed. The CP violation in Lepton decay was analyzed in the context of a model where the CP symmetry was broken. No evidence of violation was found in lepton decays into the final state. Limits on the imaginary part of the coupling constant were provided describing a relative contribution of the CP violating processes with respect to the standard model. Systematic errors were estimated in order to estimate the limits on CP violating parameter.

Abstract:

We have searched for evidence of physics beyond the standard model in events that include an energetic photon and an energetic b-quark jet, produced in 85 pb-1 of p̄p collisions at 1.8 TeV at the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab. This signature, containing at least one gauge boson and a third-generation quark, could arise in the production and decay of a pair of new particles, such as those predicted by supersymmetry, leading to a production rate exceeding standard model predictions. We also search these events for anomalous production of missing transverse energy, additional jets and leptons (e, μ, and τ), and additional b quarks. We find no evidence for any anomalous production of γb or γb + X events. We present limits on two supersymmetric models: a model where the photon is produced in the decay χ̃20→ γχ̃10, and a model where the photon is produced in the neutralino decay into the gravitino LSP, χ̃10→ γG̃. We also present our limits in a model-independent form and test methods of applying model-independent limits.

Abstract:

We present a detailed examination of the heavy flavor content of the W+jet data sample collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab during the 1992-1995 collider run at the Fermilab Tevatron. Jets containing heavy flavor quarks are selected via the identification of secondary vertices or semileptonic decays of b and c quarks. There is generally good agreement between the rates of secondary vertices and soft leptons in the data and in the standard model simulation including single and pair production of top quarks. An exception is the number of events in which a single jet has both a soft lepton and a secondary vertex tag. In W+2,3 jet data, we find 13 such events where we expected 4.4±0.6 events. The kinematic properties of this small sample of events are statistically difficult to reconcile with the simulation of standard model processes.
