We present a review of global searches at the Tevatron with D0 detector. The strategy involves splitting the data from the Tevatron into many final states and looking for signs of new physics in the high $p_T$ tails of various distributions using SLEUTH algorithm. We analyzed 117 D0 final states and 5543 D0 distributions. No evidence of new physics is found. The two discrepant final states arise from detector modeling issues.

A search for CP violation in the phase-space structures of D0 and D0bar decays to the final states K-K+pi-pi+ and pi-pi+pi+pi- is presented. The search is carried out with a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1 collected in 2011 by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV. For the K-K+pi-pi+ final state, the four-body phase space is divided into 32 bins, each bin with approximately 1800 decays. The p-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 9.1%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 6.5% observed. The phase space of the pi-pi+pi+pi- final state is partitioned into 128 bins, each bin with approximately 2500 decays. The $p$-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 41%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 5.5% observed. All results are consistent with the hypothesis of no CP violation at the current sensitivity.
In this paper searches are presented for the pair production of first and second generation scalar leptoquarks and limits are given on the quark-lepton compositeness scale from proton-antiproton collision data at a center-of-mass energy 1.96 TeV, collected with Run II D0 Detector in 2002-2004. No evidence for a leptoquark signal has been observed. From the upper bounds on the product of cross section times branching ratio beta=Br(LQ to lj), a lower mass limits of M(LQ1) > 241 GeV and M(LQ2) > 247 GeV for the first and second LQ generation are set for beta=1. These results, combined with those obtained by D0 in Run I at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV, allow to exclude scalar LQ masses up to 256 GeV and 251 GeV (for beta=1) for the first and second generation, respectively. The dilepton mass spectra in pp -> l+l-+X interactions are studied using dielectron (dimuon) data samples, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 271 pb-1 (406 pb-1). The mass spectra being a probe for new physics are examined for new interactions of quarks and leptons from a common composite structure. No excess of events is found over the expectation from Standard Model processes. The current experimental lower limits on the compositeness scale vary, for different chirality channels, from 3.6 to 9.1 TeV for the (eeqq) and from 4.2 to 9.8 TeV for the (mumuqq) contact interaction.
We report on D0 searches for leptoquarks (LQ) predicted in extended gauge theories and composite models to explain the symmetry between quarks and leptons. Data samples obtained with the D0 detector from proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV corresponding to intergrated luminosities of 1--4 inverse-fb were analyzed. No evidence for the production of such particles were observed and lower limits on leptoquark masses are set.
FASER, the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment, is a proposed experiment dedicated to searching for light, extremely weakly-interacting particles at the LHC. Such particles may be produced in the LHCs high-energy collisions in large numbers in the far-forward region and then travel long distances through concrete and rock without interacting. They may then decay to visible particles in FASER, which is placed 480 m downstream of the ATLAS interaction point. In this work, we describe the FASER program. In its first stage, FASER is an extremely compact and inexpensive detector, sensitive to decays in a cylindrical region of radius R = 10 cm and length L = 1.5 m. FASER is planned to be constructed and installed in Long Shutdown 2 and will collect data during Run 3 of the 14 TeV LHC from 2021-23. If FASER is successful, FASER 2, a much larger successor with roughly R ~ 1 m and L ~ 5 m, could be constructed in Long Shutdown 3 and collect data during the HL-LHC era from 2026-35. FASER and FASER 2 have the potential to discover dark photons, dark Higgs bosons, heavy neutral leptons, axion-like particles, and many other long-lived particles, as well as provide new information about neutrinos, with potentially far-ranging implications for particle physics and cosmology. We describe the current status, anticipated challenges, and discovery prospects of the FASER program.
The D0 experiment has searched for phenomena beyond the standard model in top quark events. The methods and results of four analyses covering various possible deviations from the standard model behaviour are discussed. With data sets covering up to 2.1fb^-1 no deviation from the standard model expectations could be found.
