Abstract:

We have measured the p(T) distribution of top quarks that are pair produced in pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV using a sample of tt decays in which we observe a single high- p(T) charged lepton, a neutrino, and four or more jets. We use a likelihood technique that corrects for the experimental bias introduced due to event reconstruction and detector resolution effects. The observed distribution is consistent with the standard model prediction. We use these data to place limits on the production of high- p(T) top quarks suggested in some models of anomalous top quark pair production.

Abstract:

A value of (-6.1 ± 0.9stat ± 0.5syst) × 10-3 is obtained for the quadratic slope parameter h in the KL → 3π0 decay Dalitz plot at the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS. The result is based on 14.7 × 106 fully reconstructed KL → 3π0 → 6γ decays. This is the most precise measurement of any of the Dalitz plot slope parameters in the charged and neutral kaon decays so far. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:

The data collected by DO detector was used to study the decay of heavy particles into electron-positron pairs during collisions. The dielectron invariant mass spectra for the events with both electrons in central region and with one electron in central region and other in forward region of central calorimeter (CC)/end calorimeter (EC) were also studied. PYTHIA was used to determine the product of cross section and branching ratio for the system. The superimposed histograms represented the estimated spectrum from standard model processes and instrumental effects.

Abstract:

We present results of searches for technirho (rho(T)), techniomega (omega(T)), and Z' particles, using the decay channels rho(T),omega(T),Z'-->e(+)e(-). The search is based on 124.8 pb(-1) of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1992-1996. In the absence of a signal, we set 95% C.L. upper limits on the cross sections for the processes pp-->rho(T),omega(T),Z'-->e(+)e(-) as a function of the mass of the decaying particle. For certain model parameters, we exclude the existence of degenerate rho(T) and omega(T) states with masses below about 200 GeV. We exclude a Z' with mass below 670 GeV, assuming that it has the same couplings to fermions as the Z boson.
