Abstract:

The transverse momentum cross section of e +e - pairs in the Z-boson mass region of 66-116GeV/c2 is precisely measured using Run II data corresponding to 2.1fb -1 of integrated luminosity recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The cross section is compared with two quantum chromodynamic calculations. One is a fixed-order perturbative calculation at O(αs2), and the other combines perturbative predictions at high transverse momentum with the gluon resummation formalism at low transverse momentum. Comparisons of the measurement with calculations show reasonable agreement. The measurement is of sufficient precision to allow refinements in the understanding of the transverse momentum distribution. © 2012 American Physical Society.

Measurement of the difference in CP-violating asymmetries in D0→K ⁺K^- and D0→π⁺π^- decays at CDF

Physical Review Letters 109:11 (2012)

Abstract:

We report a measurement of the difference (ΔACP) between time-integrated CP-violating asymmetries in D0→K+K- and D0→π+π- decays reconstructed in the full data set of proton-antiproton collisions collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab, corresponding to 9.7fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The strong decay D*+→D0π+ is used to identify the charm meson at production as D0 or D̄0. We measure ΔACP=[-0.62±0.21(stat)±0.10(syst)]%, which differs from zero by 2.7 Gaussian standard deviations. This result supports similar evidence for CP violation in charm-quark decays obtained in proton-proton collisions. © 2012 American Physical Society.

Search for the Standard Model Higgs Boson Decaying to a bb̄ Pair in Events with One Charged Lepton and Large Missing Transverse Energy Using the Full CDF Data Set

Physical Review Letters 109:11 (2012)

Authors:

Abstract:

We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson in √s=1.96TeV pp̄ collision data collected with the CDFA II detector at the Tevatron corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45fb-1. In events consistent with the decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair and the W boson to an electron or muon and a neutrino, we set 95% credibility level upper limits on the WH production cross section times the H→bb̄ branching ratio as a function of Higgs boson mass. At a Higgs boson mass of 125GeV/c2, we observe (expect) a limit of 4.9 (2.8) times the standard model value. © 2012 American Physical Society.

Search for the standard model higgs boson decaying to a bb̄ pair in events with two oppositely charged leptons using the full CDF data set

Abstract:

We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson in data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45fb-1. In events consistent with the decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair and the Z boson to electron or muon pairs, we set 95% credibility level upper limits on the ZH production cross section times the H→bb̄ branching ratio as a function of Higgs boson mass. At a Higgs boson mass of 125GeV/c2, we observe (expect) a limit of 7.1 (3.9) times the standard model value. © 2012 American Physical Society.
