Abstract:

A combined mass and particle identification fit is used to make the first observation of the decay B̄s0→Ds±K□ and measure the branching fraction of B̄s0→Ds±K□ relative to B̄s0→Ds+π-. This analysis uses 1.2fb-1 integrated luminosity of pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We observe a B̄s0→Ds±K□ signal with a statistical significance of 8.1σ and measure B(B̄s0→ Ds±K□)/B(B̄s0→Ds+π-)=0.097±0.018(stat)±0. 009(syst). © 2009 The American Physical Society.

On the possibility of light string resonances at the LHC and Tevatron from Randall-Sundrum throats

Abstract:

In string realizations of the Randall-Sundrum scenario, the higher-spin Regge excitations of Standard Model states localized near the IR brane are warped down to close to the TeV scale. We argue that, as a consequence of the localization properties of Randall-Sundrum models of flavour, the lightest such resonance is the spin-3/2 excitation, t R*, of the right-handed top quark over a significant region of parameter space. A mild accidental cancellation allows the t R* to be as light or lighter than the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the Standard Model states. We consider from a bottom-up effective theory point of view the production and possible observability of such a spin-3/2 excitation at the LHC and Tevatron. Current limits are weaker than might be expected because of the excess of WWjj events at the Tevatron reported by CDF at M inv ≃400-500 GeV. © SISSA 2009.
