Search for Long-lived Charged Massive Particles at CDF
نویسنده
چکیده
A search for long-lived charged massive particles in CDF's Run1b data sample is presented. The search looks for highly ionizing tracks which would result from slowly moving massive particles. We search for strongly produced particles using a stable color triplet quark as a reference model, and a separate search was performed for weakly produced particles using long-lived sleptons in GaugeMediated Supersymmetry Breaking as a reference model. No excess over background was observed, and we derive limits on the cross-sections for production of these particles. Prospects for RunII are also discussed.

Searches for Long-lived Particles at the Tevatron Collider
Several searches for long-lived particles have been performed using data from pp̄ collisions from Run II at the Tevatron. In most cases, new analysis techniques have been developed to carry out each search and/or estimate the backgrounds. These searches expand the discovery potential of the CDF and D0 experiments to new physics that may have been missed by traditional search techniques. This rev...
متن کاملA search for charged massive long - lived particles at D 0
Results are presented on a search for charged massive long-lived particles (CMLLPs), based on 5.2 f b 1 of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp col-lider. CMLLPs are predicted by several theories in beyond the standard model scenarios. They behave like muons but are slower and highly ionizing. In the absence of any CMLLP signature we have put limits o...
متن کاملSearches for New Physics at Tevatron
This paper reviews the most recent results on searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at Tevatron. Both the collider experiments: CDF and D6O are performing a large variety of searches such as searches for scalar top and scalar bottom particles, search for new gauge bosons, search for long-lived massive particles and general searches for new particles decaying into dijets. The results, s...
متن کاملSearches for Non-sm Higgs at the Tevatron
Tevatron is currently the only place where we can search for not only the standard model (SM) Higgs boson but also non-SM Higgs bosons. CDF and DØ have started searching for the exotic Higgs bosons including supersymmetric Higgs bosons and doubly charged Higgs bosons. DØ recently updated the results of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) Higgs boson search using hbb̄ → bb̄bb̄ final st...
متن کاملSearch for long-lived massive neutrinos in Z decays.
We search for events in the Mark II detector at SLC with the topology of a 2 boson decaying into a pair of long-lived, massive particles. No events that are consistent with the search hypothesis are found. Interpreting the long-lived particle as a sequential Dirac neutrino v4 of the fourth generation, we exclude at the 95% confidence level a significant range of mixing matrix elements of v4 to ...
