Search for new particles in the two-jet decay channel with the DØ detector
2016
We present the results of a search for the production of new particles decaying into two jets in pp collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV, using the DØ 1992-1995 data set corresponding to 109 pb-1. We exclude at the 95% confidence level the production of excited quarks (q*) with masses below 775 GeV/c2, the most restrictive limit to date. We also exclude standard-model-like W′ (Z′) bosons with masses between 300 and 800 GeV/c2 (400 and 640 GeV/c2). A. W√ boson with mass <786 GeV/c2 has been excluded by previous measurements, and our lower limit is therefore the most stringent to date. © 2004 The American Physical Society.
Direct measurement of the W boson decay width
2002
Based on 85 pb-1 data of p (p) over bar collisions at roots=1.8 TeV collected using the D empty set detector at Fermilab during the 1994-1995 run of the Tevatron, we present a direct measurement of the total decay width of the W boson Gamma(W). The width is determined from the transverse mass spectrum in the W-->e+nu(e) decay channel and found to be Gamma(W)=2.23(-0.14)(+0.15)(stat)+/-0.10(syst) GeV, consistent with the expectation from the standard model.
