Abstract:

We present the results of a search for anomalous production of diphoton events with large missing transverse energy using the Collider Detector at Fermilab. In 202 pb -1 of pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV we observe no candidate events, with an expected standard model background of 0.27 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.10(syst) events. The results exclude a lightest chargino of mass less than 167 GeV/c 2, and lightest neutralino of mass less than 93 GeV/c 2 at 95% C.L. in a gauge-mediated supersymmetry-breaking model with a light gravitino. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We have reconstructed 695 three-track τ decay vertices using a high resolution drift chamber close to the interaction point. From the distribution of decay lengths we measure the lifetime to be (3.06 ±0.20±0.14)×10-13 s. Using this result we find that the ratio of charged weak coupling constant for the τ to that of the μ, G τ/G μ=0.967±0.040 consistent with the concept of lepton universality. © 1988 Springer-Verlag.
