Updated Search for the Flavor-Changing Neutral-Current Decay D^0 \to {\mu} + {\mu}-
2010
We report on a search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay D0 \to {\mu}+ {\mu}- in pp collisions at \surd s = 1.96 TeV using 360 pb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. A displaced vertex trigger selects long-lived D0 candidates in the {\mu}+ {\mu}-, {\pi}+{\pi}-, and K-{\pi}+ decay modes. We use the Cabibbo-favored D0 \to K-{\pi}+ channel to optimize the selection criteria in an unbiased manner, and the kinematically similar D0 \to{\pi}+ {\pi}- channel for normalization. We set an upper limit on the branching fraction (D0 --> {\mu}+ {\mu}-) < 2.1 E-7 (3.0 E-7) at the 90% (95%) confidence level.
Search for a Heavy Toplike Quark inpp¯Collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2011
We present the results of a search for pair production of a heavy toplike (t') quark decaying to Wq final states using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 fb(-1) collected by the CDF II detector in pp collisions at √s=1.96 TeV. We perform parallel searches for t'→Wb and t'→Wq (where q is a generic down-type quark) in events containing a lepton and four or more jets. By performing a fit to the two-dimensional distribution of total transverse energy versus reconstructed t' quark mass, we set upper limits on the t't' production cross section and exclude a standard model fourth-generation t' quark decaying to Wb (Wq) with mass below 358 (340) GeV/c(2) at 95% C.L.
Measurement of thett¯production cross section with anin situcalibration ofb-jet identification efficiency
2011
A measurement of the top-quark pair-production cross section in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.12/fb collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab is presented. Decays of top-quark pairs into the final states e nu + jets and mu nu + jets are selected, and the cross section and the b-jet identification efficiency are determined using a new measurement technique which requires that the measured cross sections with exactly one and multiple identified b-quarks from the top-quark decays agree. Assuming a top-quark mass of 175 GeV/c^2, a cross section of 8.5+/-0.6(stat.)+/-0.7(syst.) pb is measured.
Search for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark inpp¯collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2010
We present a search for the lightest supersymmetric partner of the top quark in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 1: 96 TeV. This search was conducted within the framework of the R parity conserving minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, assuming the stop decays dominantly to a lepton, a sneutrino, and a bottom quark. We searched for events with two oppositely-charged leptons, at least one jet, and missing transverse energy in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 fb(-1) collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab experiment. No significant evidence of a stop quark signal was found. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence …
Production ofΛ0,Λ¯0,Ξ±, andΩ±hyperons inpp¯collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2012
We report a set of measurements of inclusive invariant ${p}_{T}$ differential cross sections of ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{0}$, ${\overline{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{0}$, ${\ensuremath{\Xi}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$, and ${\ensuremath{\Omega}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ hyperons reconstructed in the central region with pseudorapidity $|\ensuremath{\eta}|l1$ and ${p}_{T}$ up to $10\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/c$. Events are collected with a minimum-bias trigger in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV using the CDF II detector at the Tevatron Collider. As ${p}_{T}$ increases, the slopes of the differential cross sections of the three particles are similar,…

2010
A measurement of the tt production cross section in pp collisions at {radical}(s)=1.96 TeV using events with two leptons, missing transverse energy, and jets is reported. The data were collected with the CDF II detector. The result in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity 2.8 fb{sup -1} is {sigma}{sub tt}=6.27{+-}0.73(stat){+-}0.63(syst){+-}0.39(lum) pb. for an assumed top mass of 175 GeV/c{sup 2}.

We report on a measurement of b-hadron lifetimes in the fully reconstructed decay modes B{sup +}{yields}J/{psi}K{sup +}, B{sup 0}{yields}J/{psi}K{sup *}(892){sup 0}, B{sup 0}{yields}J/{psi}K{sub s}{sup 0}, and {Lambda}{sub b}{sup 0}{yields}J/{psi}{Lambda}{sup 0} using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.3 fb{sup -1}, collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron.
