Abstract:
We present the first general measurements (invariant-mass, transverse-energy, and angular distributions) of the process, (Formula presented) (Formula presented) using data collected by the CDF at Fermilab. We compare the data with predictions from a tree-level QCD calculation and the PYTHIA shower Monte Carlo program. Our data sample is particularly sensitive to contributions from initial- and final-state radiation of photons and jets. Using the PYTHIA Monte Carlo program, we contrast the kinematical distributions for direct photon production with those for initial- and final-state photon radiation (bremsstrahlung). Based on the angular distributions, we find that our data favor a mixture of bremsstrahlung and direct photon production, as predicted, over either process alone. 漏 1998 The American Physical Society.Search for flavor-changing neutral current decays of the top quark in pp collisions at 鈭歴 = 1.8 TeV

Abstract:
We search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays of the top quark t 鈫� 位 and t 鈫� qZ (here represents the c and u quarks) in pp collisions at 鈭歴 = 1.8 TeV. We use a dataset (鈭� L dt藴 110pb-1) collected during the 1992-1995 run of the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We set 95% confidence level limits on the branching fractions B(t 鈫� q位) < 3.2% and B(t 鈫� qZ) < 33%, consistent with the standard model. 漏 1998 The American Physical Society.Search for long-lived parents of Z掳 bosons inpp collisions at 鈭歴 = 1.8 TeV

Abstract:
We search for new long-lived particles which decay to Z0 bosons by looking for Z0鈫抏+e- decays with displaced vertices. We find no evidence for parent particles pf the Z0 with long lifetimes in 90 pb-1 of data from the CDF experiment at Fermilab. We set a cross section limit as a function of the lifetime of the parent particle for both a generic Z0 parent and a fourth-generation, charge -1/3 quark that decays into Z0b. 漏 1998 The American Physical Society.Search for the rare decay W卤 鈫� Ds plusmn纬 in pp虅 collisions at 鈭歴 = 1.8 TeV
