Studies of D+→{η′,η,}e +νe
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 84:3 (2011)
Abstract:
We report the first observation of the decay D+→η ′e+νe in two analyses, which combined provide a branching fraction of B(D+→η ′e+νe)=(2.16±0.53±0.07) ×10-4. We also provide an improved measurement of B(D +→ηe+νe)=(11.4±0.9±0. 4)×10-4, provide the first form factor measurement, and set the improved upper limit B(D+→e+νe)<0. 9×10-4 (90%C.L.). © 2011 American Physical Society.Measurement of the top pair production cross section in the lepton+jets channel using a jet flavor discriminant
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 84:3 (2011)
Abstract:
We present a new method to measure the top quark pair production cross section and the background rates with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.7fb-1 from pp̄ collisions at √s=1.96TeV collected with the CDF II Detector. We select events with a single electron or muon candidate, missing transverse energy, and at least one b-tagged jet. We perform a simultaneous fit to a jet flavor discriminant across nine samples defined by the number of jets and b tags. An advantage of this approach is that many systematic uncertainties are measured in situ and inversely scale with integrated luminosity. We measure a top cross section of σ tt̄=7.64±0.57(stat+syst)±0.45(luminosity)pb. © 2011 American Physical Society.EMU: Evolutionary Map of the Universe
