Abstract:

We report on a search for second generation leptoquarks (LQ2) which decay into a muon plus quark in p over(p, ̄) collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 1.96   TeV in the D0 detector using an integrated luminosity of about 300 pb-1. No evidence for a leptoquark signal is observed and an upper bound on the product of the cross section for single leptoquark production times branching fraction β into a quark and a muon was determined for second generation scalar leptoquarks as a function of the leptoquark mass. This result has been combined with a previously published D0 search for leptoquark pair production to obtain leptoquark mass limits as a function of the leptoquark-muon-quark coupling, λ. Assuming λ = 1, lower limits on the mass of a second generation scalar leptoquark coupling to a u quark and a muon are mLQ2 > 274   GeV and mLQ2 > 226   GeV for β = 1 and β = 1 / 2, respectively. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the top-quark mass Mtop in the all-hadronic decay channel tt̄→W+bW-b̄→q1q̄2bq3q̄4b̄. The analysis is performed using 310pb-1 of s=1.96TeV pp̄ collisions collected with the CDF II detector using a multijet trigger. The mass measurement is based on an event-by-event likelihood which depends on both the sample purity and the value of the top-quark mass, using 90 possible jet-to-parton assignments in the six-jet final state. The joint likelihood of 290 selected events yields a value of Mtop=177.1±4.9(stat)±4.7(syst)GeV/c2. © 2007 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Mean values and differential distributions of event-shape variables have been studied in neutral current deep inelastic scattering using an integrated luminosity of 82.2 pb-1 collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The kinematic range is 80 < Q2 < 20 480 GeV2 and 0.0024 < x < 0.6, where Q2 is the virtuality of the exchanged boson and x is the Bjorken variable. The data are compared with a model based on a combination of next-to-leading-order QCD calculations with next-to-leading-logarithm corrections and the Dokshitzer-Webber non-perturbative power corrections. The power-correction method provides a reasonable description of the data for all event-shape variables studied. Nevertheless, the lack of consistency of the determination of αs and of the non-perturbative parameter of the model, over(α0, -), suggests the importance of higher-order processes that are not yet included in the model. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
