Abstract:

The lifetime of the lowest-mass charm bryon is measured to provide a window for the nonperturbative sector of heavy quark decay. The data are obtained in a colliding beam environment in the CLEO II.V detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. In this environment, the event topologies and backgrounds are very different from those encountered in high energy fixed-target experiments.

Abstract:

We report on a study of the ratio of inclusive three-jet to inclusive two-jet production cross sections as a function of total transverse energy in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy √s = 1.8 TeV, using data collected with the DO detector during the 1992-1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurements are used to deduce preferred renormalization scales in perturbative script O (αs3) QCD calculations in modeling soft-jet emission. © 2001 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

A new measurement of the pseudorapidity (η) and transverse-energy (ET) dependence of the inclusive jet production cross section was carried out. The differential cross section d2σ/(dETdη) was considered as a function of jet ET in five intervals of up to |η| = 3. Results were compared with next-to-leading order predictions from QCD.

Abstract:

The search for large extra spatial dimensions at hadron colliders was performed by looking for effects of virtual Kaluza-Klein gravitons in the production of dielectrons and diphotons at high energies. No evidence was found for large extra dimension (ED). A model-independent 95% C.L. upper limit of 0.46 TeV-4 was set on the parameter nG.
