We report a measurement of the ttbar production cross section using dilepton events with jets and missing transverse energy in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. Using a 197 +/- 12 pb-1 data sample recorded by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab, we use two complementary techniques to select candidate events. We compare the number of observed events and selected kinematical distributions with the predictions of the Standard Model and find good agreement. The combined result of the two techniques yields a ttbar production cross section of 7.0 +2.4/-2.1(stat.) +1.6/-1.1(syst.) +/- 0.4(lum.) pb.

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 describe a measurement of the ratio of the cross sections times branching fractions of the $B_c^+$ meson in the decay mode $B_c^+ rightarrow J/psi mu u$ to the $B^+$ meson in the decay mode $B^+ rightarrow J/psi K^+$ in proton-antiproton collision
s at center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. The measurement is based on the complete CDF Run II data set, which comes from an integrated luminosity of $8.7,{rm fb}^{-1}$. The ratio of the production cross sections times branching fractions for $B_c^+$ and $B_c^+$ mesons with momentum transverse to the beam greater than $6~textrm{GeV}/c$ and rapidity magnitude smaller than 0.6 is $0.211pm 0.012~mbox{(stat)}^{+0.021}_{-0.020}~mbox{(syst)}$. Using the known $B^+ rightarrow J/psi K^+$ branching fraction, the known $B^+$ production cross section, and a selection of the predicted $B_c^+ rightarrow J/psi mu u$ branching fractions, the range for the total $B_c^+$ production cross section is estimated.
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 report on a measurement of the $D^{+}$-meson production cross section as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) in proton-antiproton ($pbar{p}$) collisions at 1.96 TeV center-of-mass energy, using the full data set collected by the Collider Det
ector at Fermilab in Tevatron Run II and corresponding to 10 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We use $D^{+} to K^-pi^+pi^+$ decays fully reconstructed in the central rapidity region $|y|<1$ with transverse momentum down to 1.5 GeV/$c$, a range previously unexplored in $pbar{p}$ collisions. Inelastic $pbar{p}$-scattering events are selected online using minimally-biasing requirements followed by an optimized offline selection. The $K^-pi^+pi^+$ mass distribution is used to identify the $D^+$ signal, and the $D^+$ transverse impact-parameter distribution is used to separate prompt production, occurring directly in the hard scattering process, from secondary production from $b$-hadron decays. We obtain a prompt $D^+$ signal of 2950 candidates corresponding to a total cross section $sigma(D^+, 1.5 < p_T < 14.5~mbox{GeV/}c, |y|<1) = 71.9 pm 6.8 (mbox{stat}) pm 9.3 (mbox{syst})~mu$b. While the measured cross sections are consistent with theoretical estimates in each $p_T$ bin, the shape of the observed $p_T$ spectrum is softer than the expectation from quantum chromodynamics. The results are unique in $pbar{p}$ collisions and can improve the shape and uncertainties of future predictions.
We report the first measurement of the top quark mass using the decay length technique in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. This technique uses the measured flight distance of the b hadron to infer the mass of the top quark in
lepton plus jets events with missing transverse energy. It relies solely on tracking and avoids the jet energy scale uncertainty that is common to all other methods used so far. We apply our novel method to a 695 pb^-1 data sample recorded by the CDF II detector at Fermilab and extract a measurement of m_t = 180.7^{+15.5}_{-13.4} (stat.) pm 8.6 (syst.) GeV/c^2. While the uncertainty of this result is larger than that of other measurements, the dominant uncertainties in the decay length technique are uncorrelated with those in other methods. This result can help reduce the overall uncertainty when combined with other existing measurements of the top quark mass.
