Tauwer Test

Description: TAUWER is a proposed astroparticle experiment to detect ultrahigh energy TAU neutrinos, using detector towers arrayed on a mountainside looking down into a valley. This test is to study the possibility of replacing Hamamatsu miniature PMTs with SiPMs for readout by determining the response of scintillation detectors with SiPM readout to low energy electrons, 2 GeV or lower, as the beam will provide. The detector itself is a compact package shown in the picture on the cover. it was used in a par… more

A First measurement of the interaction cross-section of the tau neutrino

Description: The DONuT experiment collected data in 1997 and published first results in 2000 based on four observed {nu}{sub {tau}} charged-current (CC) interactions. The final analysis of the data collected in the experiment is presented in this paper, based on 3.6 x 10{sup 17} protons on target using the 800 GeV Tevatron beam at Fermilab. The number of observed {nu}{sub {tau}} CC interactions is 9, from a total of 578 observed neutrino interactions. We calculated the energy-independent part of the tau-neu… more

Search for scalar bottom quarks and third-generation leptoquarks in p p-bar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV

Description: We report the results of a search for pair production of scalar bottom quarks ({tilde b}{sub 1}) and scalar third-generation leptoquarks (LQ{sub 3}) in 5.2 fb{sup -1} of p{bar p} collisions at the D0 experiment of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Scalar bottom quarks are assumed to decay to a neutralino ({tilde {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0}) and a b quark, and we set 95% C.L. lower limits on their production in the (m{sub {tilde b}{sub 1}}, m{sub {tilde {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0}}) mass plane such as m{sub {ti… more

Search for scalar bottom quarks and third-generation leptoquarks in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV

Description: We present the results of a search for pair production of scalar bottom quarks ({bar b}{sub 1}) and scalar third-generation leptoquarks (LQ{sub 3}) in a data sample of 5.2 f b{sup -1} collected by the D0 experiment at the Tevatron, the p{bar p} collider at Fermilab. We assume that sbottoms decay to a neutralino ({bar {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0}) and a b quark, and we set 95% C.L. lower limits on their production in the (m{sub {bar b}{sub 1}}, m{sub {bar {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0}}) mass plane such that m{su… more

Measurements of top quark pair production cross section in proton anti-proton collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV in the tau + jets final state using 1 inv fb of data

Description: This dissertation presents a new measurement of p{bar p} {yields} t{bar t}X production at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV using 974.2 pb{sup -1} of data collected with the D0 detector between 2002 and 2006. We focus on the final state where the W boson from one of the top quarks decays into a {tau} lepton and its associated neutrino, while the other W boson decays into a quark-antiquark pair. We aim to select those events in which the {tau} lepton subsequently decays hadronically, meaning to one or three… more

Measurement of sigma(p anti-p -> t anti-t) in the tau + jets channel by the D� experiment at Run II of the Tevatron Collider

Description: The top quark is the heaviest and most mysterious of the known elementary particles. Therefore, careful study of its production rate and other properties is of utmost importance for modern particle physics. The Tevatron is the only facility currently capable of studying top quark properties by on-shell production. Measurement of the top quark pair production cross section is one of the major goals of the Tevatron Run II physics program. It provides an excellent test of QCD at energies exceeding… more
