Abstract:

We report on precision measurements of the masses and widths of the narrow, orbitally excited states D10 and D2*0 using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Both states (collectively called D**) are reconstructed in the decay channel D**→D*+π-. The D2*0 is also reconstructed in the D**→D+π- channel. Using a data set with an integrated luminosity of 210pb-1, the measured masses and widths for the D10 are 2421.7±0.7±0.6 MeV/c2 and 20.0±1.7±1.3 MeV/c2 respectively, while for the D2*0 they are 2463.3±0.6±0.8 MeV/c2 and 49.2±2.3±1.2 MeV/c2. These values are currently the single best measurements available. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present a search for anomalous semileptonic decays of heavy flavor hadrons produced in association with a W boson in proton-antiproton collisions at s=1.96TeV. We use 162pb-1 of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We select events with one W boson and at least one jet with an identified secondary vertex. In the jets with a secondary vertex we look for a semileptonic decay to a muon. We compare the number of jets with both a secondary vertex and a semileptonic decay and the kinematic properties of these jets, with the standard model expectation of W plus heavy flavor production and decay. No discrepancy is seen between the observation and the expectation, and we set limits on the production cross section of a B-like hadron with an anomalously high semileptonic branching ratio. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Results on a search for pair production of second-generation scalar leptoquark in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV are reported. The data analyzed were collected by the CDF detector during the 2002-2003 Tevatron Run II and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 198pb-1. Leptoquarks (LQ) are sought through their decay into (charged) leptons and quarks, with final state signatures represented by two muons and jets and one muon, large transverse missing energy and jets. We observe no evidence for LQ production and derive 95% C.L. upper limits on the LQ production cross sections as well as lower limits on their mass as a function of β, where β is the branching fraction for LQ→μq. © 2006 The American Physical Society.
