چکیده

We search for anomalous production of heavy-flavor quark jets in association with W bosons at the Fermilab Tevatron pp Collider in final states in which the heavy-flavor quark content is enhanced by requiring at least one tagged jet in an event. Jets are tagged using one algorithm based on semileptonic decays of b/c hadrons, and another on their lifetimes. We compare e+jets (164 pb(-1)) and mu+jets (145 pb(-1)) channels collected with the D0 detector at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV to expectations from the standard model and set upper limits on anomalous production of such events.

Vector Boson + Heavy Flavor Jets Production at the Tevatron

Events containing vector bosons and heavy-flavor jets constitute valuable data samples for a variety of physics analyses at both CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ collider. For example, an event sample containing a W/Z boson and b-jet(s) is a golden sample for the Higgs search at low masses, studies of top quark production and properties, and also searches for the beyond-the-st...

Recent Progress in the Theory of Heavy Flavor Production 1

We review some recent results on heavy quark production in high energy hadronic collisions. We will discuss in particular the status of production cross sections for bottom quarks and charmonium states and will present some studies on the production of bottom and charm jets, at the inclusive level and in association with electroweak gauge bosons.

A Heavy Top Quark From Flavor-Universal Colorons

Ordinary technicolor and extended technicolor cannot produce the heavy top quark unaided. We demonstrate that a flavor-universal extension of the color interactions combined with an extended hypercharge sector that singles out the third generation can provide the necessary assistance. We discuss current experimental constraints and suggest how collider experiments can search for the predicted n...

Beyond the Standard Model searches with top quarks at D 0

Due to its high mass and short lifetime, the top quark plays an important role in checking the Standard Model of particle physics. In this report, we present a variety of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, involving top quarks, at the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Specifically, we present searches in top quark pair production, single top quark production and top qu...

Top-quark Cross Section and Properties at the Tevatron

At the Tevatron, the collider experiments CDF and DØ have data sets at their disposal that compromise several hundreds of reconstructed top-antitop-quark pairs and allow for precision measurements of the cross section and production and decay properties. Besides comparing the measurements to standard model predictions, these data sets open a window to physics beyond the standard model. Dedicate...
