Abstract:

Using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79pb−1, D0 has searched for events containing multiple jets and large missing transverse energy in pp¯ collisions at √s = 1.8TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Observing no significant excess beyond what is expected from the standard model, we set limits on the masses of squarks and gluinos and on the model parameters m0 and m1/2, in the framework of the minimal low-energy supergravity models of supersymmetry. For tanβ=2 and A0 = 0, with μ < 0, we exclude all models with m˜q<250 GeV/c2. For models with equal squark and gluino masses, we exclude m < 260 GeV/c2. © 1999 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

This paper presents the first measurement of inclusive J/ψ production cross section in the forward pseudorapidity region 2.5≤|ηJ/ψ|≤3.7 in pp¯ collisions at √S=1.8 TeV. The results are based on 9.8 pb−1 of data collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The inclusive J/ψ cross section for transverse momenta between 1 and 16 GeV/c is compared with theoretical models of charmonium production. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

The measurement of sin(2β)

Proceedings of Science 3 (1999)

Abstract:

Since the first observation in 1964, CP violation remains one of the most elusive aspects of the standard model. The CDF collaboration has reported the first evidence of CP violation in the B system using the world's largest sample of B → J/ψKS0 decays. The direct measurement of sin(2β)=0.79+0.41−0.44(combined statistical and systematic error) agrees with the standard model predictions. New data collected from the B-factories and from the upgraded experiments at the Tevatron should allow a more precise measurement of sin 2β in the near future.

Abstract:

Measurements of the proton structure function F2 for 0.6 < Q2 < 17 GeV2 and 1.2 × 10-5 < cursive Greek chi < 1.9 × 10 -3 from ZEUS 1995 shifted vertex data are presented. From ZEUS F2 data the slopes dF2/d ln Q2 at fixed cursive Greek chi and din F2/d ln(1/cursive Greek chi) for cursive Greek chi < 0.01 at fixed Q2 are derived. For the latter, E665 data are also used. The transition region in Q2 is explored using the simplest non-perturbative models and NLO QCD. The data at very low Q2 ≤ 0.65 GeV2 are described successfully by a combination of generalised vector meson dominance and Regge theory. From a NLO QCD fit to ZEUS data the gluon density in the proton is extracted in the range 3 × 10-5 < cursive Greek chi < 0.7. Data from NMC and BCDMS constrain the fit at large cursive Greek chi. Assuming the NLO QCD description to be valid down to Q2 ∼ 1 GeV2, it is found that the qq̄ sea distribution is still rising at small cursive Greek chi and the lowest Q2 values whereas the gluon distribution is strongly suppressed.
