Abstract:

A study on searches for quark-lepton compositeness and a heavy boson at high electron-neutrino transverse mass was presented. The data collected in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV was used for the analysis. The data obtained is found to be consistent with the standard model (SM) predictions.

A study of a combination of MICROMEGAS+ GEM chamber in Ar-CO2 gas

Abstract:

A MICROMEGAS is a micropatterned gaseous detector that has great potential in many applications including high energy physics and astronomy. The detector consists of a micromesh supported by thin pillars (50 μm) and the space between the micromesh and the anode plane defines an amplification gap. The detector has a high rate capability and good spatial resolution. The performance of the MICROMEGAS can be improved by a preamplification device like a GEM to factor the gas multiplication into two stages. With the added preamplication, it is possible to minimize spark rates in detecting heavily ionizing particles without sacrificing gas gain significantly. The additional gas gain provided by the GEM also allows the detector to operate in a clean gas mixture like Ar-CO2 The use of a clean gas mixture allows the device to be radiation hard.

Abstract:

We present a search for the "wrong-sign" decay D0 → Κ+π-π+π- using 9 fb-1 of e+e- collisions on and just below the Y(4S) resonance. This decay can occur either through a doubly Cabibbo-suppressed process or through mixing to a D̄0 followed by a Cabibbo-favored process. Our result for the time-integrated wrong-sign rate relative to the decay D0 → Κ-π+π-π+ is (0.0041-0.0011+0.0012(stat)±0.0004(syst))×(1.07 ±0.10)(phase space), which has a statistical significance of 3.9 standard deviations. ©2001 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report on the first measurement of the rapidity distribution dσ/dy over nearly the entire kinematic region of rapidity for e + e - pairs in both the Z-boson region of 66116 GeV/c 2 . The data sample consists of 108 pb -1 of pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV taken by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during 1992-1995. The total cross section in the Z-boson region is measured to be 252±11 pb. The measured total cross section and dσ/dy are compared with quantum chromodynamics calculations in leading and higher orders. ©2000 The American Physical Society.
