Abstract:

We report on a measurement of the ratio of the differential cross sections for W and Z boson production as a function of transverse momentum in proton-antiproton collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV. This measurement uses data recorded by the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in 1994-1995. It represents the first investigation of a proposal that ratios between W and Z observables can be calculated reliably using perturbative QCD, even when the individual observables are not. Using the ratio of differential cross sections reduces both experimental and theoretical uncertainties, and can therefore provide smaller overall uncertainties in the measured mass and width of the W boson than current methods used at hadron colliders. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:

We present a search for electroweak production of single top quarks in ≈90 pb-1 of data collected with the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Using arrays of neural networks to separate signals from backgrounds, we set upper limits on the cross sections of 17 pb for the s-channel process pp̄ → tb + X, and 22 pb for the t-channel process pp̄ → tqb + X, both at the 95% confidence level. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:

Double diffraction differential cross sections in pp collisions at √s = 1800 and 630 GeV were measured. Results were compared with data at √s = 200 and 900 GeV and with predictions based on Regge theory and factorization. A factorization breakdown comparable in magnitude to that observed in single diffraction dissociation was found. The data are in agreement with the renormalized gap probability model.

Abstract:

An overview is given on the measurements of dσ/dM and improvement of the existing measurements of AFB. All the measurements have been taken by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The measurements of e+e- pairs with invariant masses between 40 and 500 eV/c2 complement measurements in e+e- machines, that currently extend to 200 GeV/c2.
