We present a measurement of the elastic differential cross section $dsigma(pbar{p}rightarrow pbar{p})/dt$ as a function of the four-momentum-transfer squared t. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $approx 31 nb^{-1}$ collected
with the D0 detector using dedicated Tevatron $pbar{p} $ Collider operating conditions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV and covers the range $0.26 <|t|< 1.2 GeV^2$. For $|t|<0.6 GeV^2$, dsigma/dt is described by an exponential function of the form $Ae^{-b|t|}$ with a slope parameter $ b = 16.86 pm 0.10(stat) pm 0.20(syst) GeV^{-2}$. A change in slope is observed at $|t| approx 0.6 GeV^2$, followed by a more gradual |t| dependence with increasing values of |t|.
We present measurements of the tWb coupling form factors using information from electroweak single top quark production and from the helicity of W bosons from top quark decays in ttbar events. We set upper limits on anomalous tWb coupling form factor
s using data collected with the D0 detector at the Tevatron ppbar collider corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb^-1.
We present a search for the pair production of scalar top quarks ($tilde{t}_{1}$), the lightest supersymmetric partners of the top quarks, in $pbar{p}$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, using data corresponding to an integrated lumin
osity of {7.3 $fb^{-1}$} collected with the dzero experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Each scalar top quark is assumed to decay into a $b$ quark, a charged lepton, and a scalar neutrino ($tilde{ u}$). We investigate final states arising from $tilde{t}_{1} bar{tilde{t}_{1}} rightarrow bbar{b}mutau tilde{ u} tilde{ u}$ and $tilde{t}_{1} bar{tilde{t}_{1}} rightarrow bbar{b}tautau tilde{ u} tilde{ u}$. With no significant excess of events observed above the background expected from the standard model, we set exclusion limits on this production process in the ($m_{tilde{t}_{1}}$,$m_{tilde{ u}}$) plane.
We present a measurement of the relative branching fraction, R_{f_{0}/phi}, of B_{s}^{0} to J/psi f_{0}(980), with f_{0}(980) to pi^+ pi^-, to the process B_{s}^{0} to J/psi phi, with phi to K^+K^-. The J/psi f_{0}(980) final state corresponds to a C
P-odd eigenstate of B_{s}^{0} that could be of interest in future studies of CP violation. Using approximately 8fb^-1 of data recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, we find R_{f_{0}/phi} = 0.275 +- 0.041(stat) +- 0.061(syst).
We present a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section using the Run II cone algorithm and data collected by the D0 experiment in p pbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.70 fb
^(-1). The jet energy calibration and the method used to extract the inclusive jet cross section are described. We discuss the main uncertainties, which are dominated by the jet energy scale uncertainty. The results cover jet transverse momenta from 50 GeV to 600 GeV with jet rapidities in the range -2.4 to 2.4 and are compared to predictions using recent proton parton distribution functions. Studies of correlations between systematic uncertainties in transverse momentum and rapidity are presented.
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 SLE
UTH 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.
Updates of electroweak single top quark production measurements by the D0 collaboration are presented using 5.4fb^-1 of proton-antiproton collision data from the Tevatron at Fermilab. Measurements of the t-channel, s-channel and combined single top q
uark production cross section are presented, including an updated lower limit on the CKM matrix element |V_tb|. Also reported are results from searches for gluon-quark flavor-changing neutral currents and W boson production.
We present a search for the pair production of first generation scalar leptoquarks (LQ) in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in ppbar collisions at $sqrt{s
}=1.96$ TeV. In the channel $LQ bar{LQ} rightarrow e u_e qq$, where q, q are u or d quarks, no significant excess of data over background is observed, and we set a 95% C.L. lower limit of 326 GeV on the leptoquark mass, assuming equal probabilities of leptoquark decays to eq and $ u_e q$.
We present a search for associated Higgs boson production in the process pbar -> W/ZH -> lpmlpm + X in ee, e{mu}, and {mu}{mu} final states. The search is based on data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at sqrt{s} = 1.9
6 TeV corresponding to 5.3 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. We require two isolated leptons (electrons or muons) with the same electric charge and additional kinematic requirements. No significant excess above background is observed, and we set 95% C.L. observed (expected) upper limits on ratio of the production cross section to the standard model expectation of 6.4 (7.3) for a Higgs boson mass of 165 GeV and 13.5 (19.8) for a mass of 115 GeV.
We present an updated measurement of the anomalous like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry Aslb for semi-leptonic $b$-hadron decays in 9.0 fb^-1 of p pbar collisions recorded with the D0 detector at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV at the Ferm
ilab Tevatron collider. We obtain Aslb = (-0.787 +- 0.172(stat) +- 0.093 (syst))%. This result differs by 3.9 standard deviations from the prediction of the standard model and provides evidence for anomalously large CP violation in semi-leptonic neutral B decay. The dependence of the asymmetry on the muon impact parameter is consistent with the hypothesis that it originates from semi-leptonic b-hadron decays.
