Abstract:

We report on a search for pair production of first-generation scalar leptoquarks (LQ) in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 252 pb-1 collected at the Fermilab Tevatron collider by the D0 detector. We observe no evidence for LQ production in the topologies arising from LQLQ → eqeq and LQLQ → eqvq, and derive 95% C.L. lower limits on the LQ mass as a function of β, where β is the branching fraction for LQ → eq. The limits are 241 and 218 GeV/c 2 for β = 1 and 0.5, respectively. These results are combined with those obtained by D0 at √s = 1.8 TeV, which increases these LQ mass limits to 256 and 234 GeV/c2. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

A search for pentaquarks decaying to Ξ-π- (Ξ-π+) and corresponding antiparticles has been performed with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The data sample consists of deep inelastic ep scattering events at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV, and corresponds to 121 pb -1 of integrated luminosity. A clear signal for Ξ0(1530) →Ξ-π+ was observed. However, no signal for any new baryonic state was observed at higher masses in either the Ξ-π- or Ξ-π+ channels. The searches in the antiparticle channels were also negative. Upper limits on the ratio of a possible Ξ3/2 - (Ξ3/20) signal to the Ξ0(1530) signal were set in the mass range 1650-2350 MeV. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
