Abstract:

We search for standard model single-top-quark production in the W-gluon fusion and W* channels using 106 pb-1 of data from pp虅 collisions at 鈭歴=1.8 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We set an upper limit at 95% confidence level (C.L.) on the combined W-gluon fusion and W* single-top cross section of 14 pb, roughly six times larger than the standard model prediction. Separate 95% C.L. upper limits in the W-gluon fusion and W* channels are also determined and are found to be 13 and 18 pb, respectively.

Abstract:

A search for scalar top (stop) quark pair production in the inclusive electron-muon-missing transverse energy final state was presented. The search was performed within the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) assuming the sneutrino to be the lightest supersymmetric particle. No evidence for signal was found for the dominant decays of the lightest stop. The cross-section limits of the stop, chargino and sneutrino masses were also derived.

Abstract:

We have performed a search for scalar top quark (stop) pair production in the inclusive electron-muon-missing transverse energy final state, using a sample of pp events corresponding to 108.3 pb(-1) of data collected with the D0 detector at Fermilab. The search is done in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model assuming that the sneutrino is the lightest supersymmetric particle. For the dominant decays of the lightest stop, t-->b chi+1 and t-->blnu, no evidence for signal is found. We derive cross-section limits as a function of stop ( t ), chargino ( chi+1), and sneutrino ( nu) masses.
