Search for New Particles Decaying to Dijets , bb̄ , and tt̄ at CDF
نویسنده
چکیده
We present three searches for new particles at CDF. First, using 70 pb of data we search the dijet mass spectrum for resonances. There is an upward fluctuation near 550 GeV/c (2.6σ) with an angular distribution that is adequately described by either QCD alone or QCD plus 5% signal. There is insufficient evidence to claim a signal, but we set the most stringent mass limits on the hadronic decays of axigluons, excited quarks, technirhos, W, Z, and E6 diquarks. Second, using 19 pb of data we search the b-tagged dijet mass spectrum for bb̄ resonances. Again, an upward fluctuation near 600 GeV/c (2 σ) is not significant enough to claim a signal, so we set the first mass limits on topcolor bosons. Finally, using 67 pb of data we search the top quark sample for tt̄ resonances like a topcolor Z . Other than an insignificant shoulder of 6 events on a background of 2.4 in the mass region 475-550 GeV/c, there is no evidence for new particle production. Mass limits, currently in progress, should be sensitive to a topcolor Z near 600 GeV/c. In all three searches there is insufficient evidence to claim new particle production, yet there is an exciting possibility that the upward fluctuations are the first signs of new physics beyond the standard model.

متن کاملSearches for Resonances Decaying to Top
The top quark was discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 collaborations [2, 3]. During Run I (1992-1996) both experiments collected a data set of about 125 pb. In 2001 Run II has started operating with a center-of-mass-energy of √ s = 1.96 TeV and an increased luminosity. One of the main aims is to further investigate the properties of top quarks. End of 2006 there was first evidence for single t...

Discovery Mass Reach for Topgluons Decaying to bb̄ at the Tevatron
In topcolor assisted technicolor, topgluons are massive gluons which couple mainly to top and bottom quarks. We estimate the mass reach for topgluons decaying to bb̄ at the Tevatron as a function of integrated luminosity. The mass reach for topgluons decreases with increasing topgluon width, and is 0.77 − 0.95 TeV for Run II (2 fb) and 1.0−1.2 TeV for TeV33 (30 fb). I. TOPCOLOR AND TOPGLUONS Top...
