Abstract:

We present a measurement of the cross section for Z production times the branching fraction to 蟿 leptons, 蟽路Br(Z 鈫 蟿+蟿-), in pp虅 collisions at 鈭歴 = 1.96 TeV in the channel in which one 蟿 decays into 渭谓渭谓 蟿, and the other into hadrons + 谓蟿 or e谓e谓蟿. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 226 pb-1 collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The final sample contains 2008 candidate events with an estimated background of 55%. From this we obtain 蟽路Br(Z 鈫 蟿+蟿-) = 237 卤 15(stat) 卤 18(sys) 卤 15(lum)pb, in agreement with the standard model prediction. 漏 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report on a search for pair production of first-generation scalar leptoquarks (LQ) in pp虅 collisions at 鈭歴 = 1.96 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 252 pb-1 collected at the Fermilab Tevatron collider by the D0 detector. We observe no evidence for LQ production in the topologies arising from LQLQ 鈫 eqeq and LQLQ 鈫 eqvq, and derive 95% C.L. lower limits on the LQ mass as a function of 尾, where 尾 is the branching fraction for LQ 鈫 eq. The limits are 241 and 218 GeV/c 2 for 尾 = 1 and 0.5, respectively. These results are combined with those obtained by D0 at 鈭歴 = 1.8 TeV, which increases these LQ mass limits to 256 and 234 GeV/c2. 漏 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

A search for pentaquarks decaying to 螢-蟺- (螢-蟺+) and corresponding antiparticles has been performed with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The data sample consists of deep inelastic ep scattering events at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV, and corresponds to 121 pb -1 of integrated luminosity. A clear signal for 螢0(1530) 鈫捨-蟺+ was observed. However, no signal for any new baryonic state was observed at higher masses in either the 螢-蟺- or 螢-蟺+ channels. The searches in the antiparticle channels were also negative. Upper limits on the ratio of a possible 螢3/2 - (螢3/20) signal to the 螢0(1530) signal were set in the mass range 1650-2350 MeV. 漏 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
