We present searches for the anomalous γWW and ZWW trilinear gauge boson couplings from WW and WZ production using lepton plus dijet final states and a combination with results from Wγ, WW, and WZ ...production with leptonic final states. The analyzed data correspond to up to 8.6fb -1 of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 detector in pp- collisions at s=1.96TeV. We set the most stringent limits at a hadron collider to date assuming two different relations between the anomalous coupling parameters δκ γ, λ, and δg1Z for a cutoff energy scale Λ=2TeV. The combined 68% C.L. limits are -0.057<δκ γ<0.154, -0.015<λ<0.028, and -0.008<δg1Z<0.054 for the LEP parameterization, and -0.007<δκ<0.081 and -0.017<λ<0.028 for the equal couplings parameterization. We also present the most stringent limits of the W boson magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments.
We use higher-order quantum chromodynamics calculations to extract the mass of the top quark from the t (t) over bar cross section measured in the lepton + jets channel in p (p) over bar collisions ...at root s = 1.96 TeV using 5.3 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The extracted top quark pole mass and (MS) over bar mass are compared to the current Tevatron average top quark mass obtained from direct measurements.
We present a measurement of the average value of a new observable at hadron colliders that is sensitive to QCD dynamics and to the strong coupling constant, while being only weakly sensitive to ...parton distribution functions. The observable measures the angular correlations of jets and is defined as the number of neighboring jets above a given transverse momentum threshold which accompany a given jet within a given distance δR in the plane of rapidity and azimuthal angle. The ensemble average over all jets in an inclusive jet sample is measured and the results are presented as a function of transverse momentum of the inclusive jets, in different regions of δR and for different transverse momentum requirements for the neighboring jets. The measurement is based on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.7 fb -1 collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in pp- collisions at s=1.96 TeV. The results are well described by a perturbative QCD calculation in next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant, corrected for non-perturbative effects. From these results, we extract the strong coupling and test the QCD predictions for its running over a range of momentum transfers of 50-400 GeV.
We study the production of the exotic charged charmonium-like state $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ in $p \bar p$ collisions through the sequential process $\psi(4260) \rightarrow Z_c^{\pm}(3900) \pi^{\mp}$, ...$Z_c^{\pm}(3900) \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^{\pm}$. Using the subsample of candidates originating from semi-inclusive weak decays of $b$-flavored hadrons, we measure the invariant mass and natural width to be $M=3902.6^{+5.2}_{-5.0}{\rm \thinspace (stat)}^{+3.3}_{-1.4}{\rm \thinspace (syst)}$ MeV and $\Gamma=32 ^{+28}_{-21}{\rm \thinspace (stat)} ^{+26}_{-7}{\rm \thinspace (syst)}$ MeV, respectively. We search for prompt production of the $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ through the same sequential process. No significant signal is observed, and we set an upper limit of 0.66 at the 95\% credibility level on the ratio of prompt production to the production via $b$-hadron decays. The study is based on $10.4~\rm{fb^{-1}}$ of $p \overline p $ collision data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
We present a model-independent measurement of t-channel electroweak production of single top quarks in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96 TeV. Using 5.4 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 ...detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, and selecting events containing an isolated electron or muon, missing transverse energy and one or two jets originating from the fragmentation of b quarks, we measure a cross section σ(pp¯→tqb+X)=2.90±0.59(stat+syst) pb for a top quark mass of 172.5 GeV. The probability of the background to fluctuate and produce a signal as large as the one observed is 1.6×10−8, corresponding to a significance of 5.5 standard deviations.
We present a measurement of the tt¯ production cross section σtt¯ in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96 TeV using 5.4 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector. We consider final states with ...at least two jets and two leptons (ee, eμ, μμ), and events with one jet for the eμ final state as well. The measured cross section is σtt¯=7.36−0.79+0.90(stat+syst) pb. This result combined with the cross section measurement in the lepton+jets final state yields σtt¯=7.56−0.56+0.63(stat+syst) pb, which agrees with the standard model expectation. The relative precision of 8% of this measurement is comparable to the precision of the latest theoretical calculations.
We present the first search for CPT-violating effects in the mixing of B0s mesons using the full Run II data set with an integrated luminosity of 10.4 fb-1 of proton-antiproton collisions collected ...using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We measure the CPT-violating asymmetry in the decay B0s → µ±D±s as a function of celestial direction and sidereal phase. We find no evidence for CPT-violating effects and place limits on the direction and magnitude of flavor-dependent CPTand Lorentz-invariance violating coupling coefficients. We find 95% confidence intervals of Δa⊥ < 1.2 × 10-12 GeV and (-0.8 < ΔaT - 0.396ΔaZ < 3.9) × 10-13 GeV.
