Abstract:

A search for the production of neutral Higgs bosons Φ decaying into τ+τ- final states in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV is presented. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 325pb-1, were collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Since no excess compared to the expectation from standard model processes is found, limits on the production cross section times branching ratio are set. The results are combined with those obtained from the D0 search for Φb(b̄)→bb̄b(b̄) and are interpreted in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

A search for leptoquarks has been performed in 310 pb -1 of data from p over(p, ̄) collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The topology analyzed consists of acoplanar jets with missing transverse energy. The data show good agreement with standard model expectations, and a lower mass limit of 136 GeV has been set at the 95% C.L. for a scalar leptoquark decaying exclusively into a quark and a neutrino. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:

Limits are set on anomalous WWγ and WWZ trilinear gauge couplings using W+W-→e+νee-ν̄e, W+W-→e±νeμ νμ, and W+W-→μ+νμμ-ν̄μ events. The data set was collected by the Run II D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and corresponds to approximately 250pb-1 of integrated luminosity at s=1.96TeV. Under the assumption that the WWγ couplings are equal to the WWZ couplings and using a form factor scale of Λ=2.0TeV, the combined 95% C.L. one-dimensional coupling limits from all three channels are -0.32<Δκ<0.45 and -0.29<λ<0.30. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present a search for supersymmetry in the R-parity violating resonant production and decay of smuons and muon sneutrinos in the channels mu-->chi(1)(0)mu, mu-->chi(2,3,4)(0)mu, and nu(mu)-->chi(1,2)(+/-)mu. We analyzed 0.38 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected between April 2002 and August 2004 with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The observed number of events is in agreement with the standard model expectation, and we calculate 95% C.L. limits on the slepton production cross section times branching fraction to gaugino plus muon, as a function of slepton and gaugino masses. In the framework of minimal supergravity, we set limits on the coupling parameter lambda(211)('), extending significantly previous results obtained in Run I of the Tevatron and at the CERN LEP collider.
