Extraction of the width of the W boson from a measurement of the ratio of the W and Z cross sections

Description: This dissertation reports on measurements of inclusive cross sections times branching fractions into electrons for W and Z bosons produced in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. From an integrated luminosity of 84.5 pb{sup {minus}1} recorded in 1994--1995 by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron {Lambda} the cross sections are measured to be {sigma}p{anti p} {r_arrow} W + X {center_dot} B(W {r_arrow} e{nu}) = 2,310 {+-} 10 (stat) {+-} 50 (Syst) {+-} 100 (lum) pb and {sigma}(p{anti … more

A Mass-Spectrometric Investigation of Sulfur Vapor as a Function of Temperature

Description: A mass-spectrometric investigation was performed on sulfur vapor in equilibrium with the condensed phase at 120 to 210 gas-cooled C. It was found that, in this temperature range, equilibrium sulfur vapor contains appreciable quantities of S/sub 8/, S/sub 7/, S/sub 6/, and S/sub 5/ only. The sulfur vapor emanated as a small well-collimated molecular beam from a specially constructed source into an ionization chamber which was designed to exclude from analysis any sulfur vapor that had impinged o… more

Search for single top production with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider

Description: We attempt to identify a single top signal in the muon + jets data collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron at a center-of-mass energy of {radical}s = 1.8 TeV from 1992-96. The data corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 103.7 pb{sup -1}. While resolving a signal has proved impossible, we are able to place an upper limit on the production cross section for single top events using these data. The cross section for production of single top via 95% p{bar p} {yields} tb and p{ba… more

Spin correlation in t{anti t} production from p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

Description: The Standard Model predicts that the lifetime of the top quark is shorter than the typical time scale at which hadronization process occurs, and the spin information at its production is preserved. Spin correlation of the t{anti t} system from p{anti p} collisions at the Tevatron is analyzed using 6 events in the dilepton channels collected using the D0 detector. Spin correlation factor of {kappa} > {minus} 0.25 at 68% CL is obtained from the data.
