Abstract

A search for the top quark`s lighter superpartner, {tilde t}{sub 1}, is being performed using {bar p}p collision data from the current Tevatron Collider run. The authors present a preliminary result of their search. Assuming the mass of the {tilde t}{sub 1} is heavier than the sum of the masses of the b quark and the SUSY chargino {tilde W}{sub 1}, they search for {tilde t}{sub 1}{bar {tilde t}}{sub 1} production, where both {tilde t}{sub 1}`s decay to b{tilde W}{sub 1}, followed by b {yields} jet, and {tilde W}{sub 1} {yields} e{nu}{tilde Z}{sub 1} or {mu}{nu}{tilde Z}{sub 1}. The {tilde t}{sub 1}{bar {tilde t}}{sub 1} signature is thus a dilepton and missing transverse energy. The principal backgrounds to this signal are t{bar t}, W+jets, W{sup +}W{sup {minus}}, Z{yields}{tau}{sup +}{tau}{sup {minus}}, and Drell-Yan. The B parameter, has been suggested by Baer et al. to distinguish the {tilde t}{sub 1}{bar {tilde t}}{sub 1} signal from background. The authors examine this B parameter in CDF events, for several {tilde t}{sub 1} masses. For m({tilde t}{sub 1})=70GeV/c{sup 2} and m(t)=170GeV/c{sup 2}, they expect approximately 10 signal events in the 50 pb{sup {minus}1} accumulated by CDF so far. The significance of the signal over backgroundmore » will be discussed.« less

A search for squark and gluino production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

Journal Article Keyvan, F - Bulletin of the American Physical Society

A search for production of the supersymmetric (SUSY) particles squark ({tilde q}) and gluino ({tilde g}) is being performed using 19 pb{sup {minus}1} p{bar p} collision data collected with the CDF detector during the 1992-1993 Tevatron run at Fermilab. The authors have taken the classic approach of selecting events with high missing transverse energy (E{sub T}) and multiple jets. High E{sub T} is expected in events of interest since the lightest SUSY particle ({tilde Z}{sub 1)} is assumed to be non-interacting but can be very energetic. The most important pairs of decay chains in SUSY events are {tilde q} {yields}more »« less
Observation of $$t\bar{t}$$ Quark Production Using a Soft Lepton B Tag in $$p\bar{p}$$ Collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 1.8-TeV

Thesis/Dissertation Kestenbaum, David Samuel

This thesis presents the results of a search for $$t\bar{t}$$ production in 110 $$pb^{-1}$$ of $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$=l.8 TeV. The data were collected using the Collider Detector at Ferrnilab (CDF). The search identifies events consistent with the Standard Model decay ($$t\bar{t} \to W^+ bW^- \bar{b}$$). W bosons are identified by the presence of high momentum electrons or muons associated with missing energy transverse to the beam. At least three jets are required to reduce the background from W bosons produced with associated jets. Finally the presence of a b-quark is inferred by searching for a soft lepton from themore »« less

Evidence for top quark production in 1.8 TeV {bar p}p collisions

Conference Jensen, H B

This report is a summary of the evidence for top quark production in {bar p}p collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV which was obtained by the CDF Collaboration earlier this year. The data analyzed corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.3 pb{sup {minus}1}, recorded with the CDF Detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider during 1992-1993. Three different search channels for t{bar t} production are used. A search for dilepton events finds 2 events, while two different methods of identifying b-quark jets in events with W+ {ge} 3 jets finds 6 and 7 events, respectively. The probabilitymore »« less

Evidence for top quark production in {ital {bar p}p} collisions at {radical}{ital s}=1.8 TeV

Journal Article Dell`Agnello, S ; CDF Collaboration - AIP Conference Proceedings

A search[1] for the top quark with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) in a sample of {ital {bar p}p} collisions at {radical}{ital s}=1.8 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 19.3{plus_minus}0.7 pb{sup {minus}1} is summarized. We find 12 events consistent with either two {ital W} bosons, or a {ital W} boson and at least one {ital b} jet. The probability that the measured yield is consistent with the background is 0.26%. Though the statistics are too limited to establish firmly the existence of the top quark, a natural interpretation of the excess is that it is due to {ital t{barmore »« less

Search for top squarks at the Fermilab Tevatron collider

Journal Article Baer, H ; Sender, J ; Tata, X - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (United States)

The lighter superpartner of the top quark ([ital [tilde t]][sub 1]) may be considerably lighter than squarks of the first two generations, and hence may be accessible to Fermilab Tevatron collider searches, even if the other squarks and the gluino are too heavy. For the range of [ital m][sub [ital [tilde t]]1] of interest at the Tevatron, the [ital [tilde t]][sub 1] decays to a chargino via [ital [tilde t]][sub 1][r arrow][ital b[tilde W]][sub 1] if this is kinematically allowed; otherwise, the flavor-changing loop decay [ital [tilde t]][sub 1][r arrow][ital c[tilde Z]][sub 1] dominates. In the latter case, [ital [tildemore »« less
