Abstract

We have investigated the invariant mass spectrum of dimuons collected by the CDF experiment during the 1992-1995 run of the Fermilab Tevatron collider to improve the limit on the existence of narrow resonances set by the experiments at the SPEAR e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. In the mass range 6.3-9.0 GeV/c{sup 2}, we derive 90% upper credible limits to the ratio of the production cross section times muonic branching fraction of possible narrow resonances to that of the {upsilon}(1S) meson. In this mass range, the average limit varies from 1.7 to 0.5%. This limit is much worse at the mass of 7.2 GeV/c{sup 2} due to an excess of 250{+-}61 events with a width consistent with the detector resolution.

Search for narrow resonances below the Upsilon mesons

Journal Article Apollinari, G. ; Barone, M. ; Carithers, W. ; ... - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields)

The authors have investigated the invariant mass spectrum of dimuons collected by the CDF experiment during the 1992-1995 run of the Fermilab Tevatron collider to improve the limit on the existence of narrow resonances set by the experiments at the SPEAR e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. In the mass range 6.3-9.0 GeV/c{sup 2} they derive an average 90% upper credible limit of 8 eV to the leptonic width of possible resonances. This limit is much worse at the mass of 7.2 GeV/c{sup 2} due to an excess of 250 {+-} 61 events with a width consistent with the detector resolution.

Search for narrow resonances lighter than Upsilon mesons

Journal Article Aaltonen, T. ; /Helsinki Inst. of Phys. ; Adelman, Jahred A. ; ...

We report a search for narrow resonances, produced in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV, that decay into muon pairs with invariant mass between 6.3 and 9.0 GeV/c{sup 2}. The data, collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 630 pb{sup -1}. We use the dimuon invariant mass distribution to set 90% upper credible limits of about 1% to the ratio of the production cross section times muonic branching fraction of possible narrow resonances to that of the {Upsilon}(1S) meson.

Search for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation in Narrow {Upsilon} Decays

Journal Article Lees, J. P. ; Poireau, V. ; Prencipe, E. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Charged-lepton flavor-violating processes are unobservable in the standard model, but they are predicted to be enhanced in several extensions to the standard model, including supersymmetry and models with leptoquarks or compositeness. We present a search for such processes in a sample of 99x10{sup 6{Upsilon}}(2S) decays and 117x10{sup 6{Upsilon}}(3S) decays collected with the BABAR detector. We place upper limits on the branching fractions B({Upsilon}(nS){yields}e{sup {+-}{tau}{+-}}) and B({Upsilon}(nS){yields}{mu}{sup {+-}{tau}{+-}}) (n=2,3) at the 10{sup -6} level and use these results to place lower limits of order 1 TeV on the mass scale of charged-lepton flavor-violating effective operators.

Evidence for the UPSILON'' and a search for new narrow resonances

Journal Article Ueno, K. ; Brown, B.C. ; Brown, C.N. ; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The production of the UPSILON family in proton-nucleus collisions is clarified by a sixfold increase in statistics. Constraining UPSILON,UPSILON' masses to those observed at DORIS we find the statistical significance of the UPSILON'' to be 11 standard deviations. The dependence of UPSILON production on p/sub t/, y, and s is presented. Limits for other resonance production in the mass range 4-18 GeV are determined.

Search for the Production of Narrow tb Resonances in 1.9 fb{sup -1} of pp Collisions at sq root(s)=1.96 TeV

Journal Article Aaltonen, T. ; Maki, T. ; Mehtala, P. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present new limits on resonant tb production in pp collisions at sq root(s)=1.96 TeV, using 1.9 fb{sup -1} of data recorded with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We reconstruct a candidate tb mass in events with a lepton, neutrino candidate, and two or three jets, and search for anomalous tb production as modeled by W{sup '}->tb. We set a new limit on a right-handed W{sup '} with standard model-like coupling, excluding any mass below 800 GeV/c{sup 2} at 95% C.L. The cross section for any narrow, resonant tb production between 750 and 950 GeV/c{sup 2} ismore »« less
