Search for long-lived charged massive particles with the D0 detector
Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T20:51:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009-04-22 Science and Technology Facilities Council We search for long-lived charged massive particles using 1.1fb-1 of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ Collider. Time-of-flight information is used to search for pair produced long-lived tau sleptons, gauginolike charginos, and Higgsino-like charginos. We find no evidence of a signal and set 95% C.L. cross section upper limits for staus, which vary from 0.31 to 0.04 pb for stau masses between 60 and 300 GeV. We also set lower mass limits of 206 GeV (171 GeV) for pair produced charged gauginos (Higgsinos). © 2009 Th…
Search for resonant diphoton production with the D0 detector
We present a search for a narrow resonance in the inclusive diphoton final state using 2.7 fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar Collider. We observe good agreement between the data and the background prediction, and set the first 95% C.L. upper limits on the production cross section times the branching ratio for decay into a pair of photons for resonance masses between 100 and 150 GeV. This search is also interpreted in the context of several models of electroweak symmetry breaking with a Higgs boson decaying into two photons.
