Abstract:

The high precision and large kinematic coverage of the data from the HERA-I running period (1994-2000) have already allowed precise extractions of proton parton distribution functions. The HERA-II program is now underway and is expected to provide a substantial increase in the luminosity collected at HERA. In this paper, the first estimate of the impact of future data from HERA, on the proton PDF uncertainties, is presented. Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for inclusive jet cross sections at the LHC are presented using the projected PDFs. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:

We report two measurements of the top-quark mass Mtop using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in a 318pb-1 data sample of tt̄ events in the lepton+jets final state. One method uses an event-based likelihood technique resulting in Mtop=173.2-2.4+2.6(stat)±3.2(syst)GeV/c2 or 173.2-4.0+4.1GeV/c2. The second method reconstructs a top-quark mass in each event using the measured invariant mass of the hadronically decaying W boson to constrain the jet energy scale to obtain a value for Mtop of 173.5-3.6+3.7(stat)±1.3(syst)GeV/c2 or 173.5-3.8+3.9GeV/c2. We take the latter, which is more precise, as our result. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present a search for neutral supersymmetric Higgs bosons decaying to τ pairs produced in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV. The data, corresponding to 310pb-1 integrated luminosity, were collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab in runII of the Tevatron. No significant excess above the standard model backgrounds is observed. We set exclusion limits on the production cross section times branching fraction to τ pairs for Higgs boson masses in the range from 90 to 250GeV/c2. © 2006 The American Physical Society.
