Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson in final states with an electron or muon and a hadronically decaying tau lepton in association with zero, one, or two or more jets using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 7.3 fb(-1) collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The analysis is sensitive to Higgs boson production via gluon-gluon fusion, associated vector boson production, and vector boson fusion, and to Higgs boson decays to tau tau, WW, ZZ and b (b) over bar pairs. Observed (expected) limits are set on the ratio of 95% C.L. upper limits on the cross section times branching ratio, relative to those predicted by the Standard Model, of 22 (14) at a Higgs boson mass of 115 GeV and 6.8 (7.7) at 165 GeV.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We measure the cross section and the difference in rapidities between photons and charged leptons for inclusive W(-> l nu) + gamma production in e gamma and mu gamma final states. Using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.2 fb(-1) collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, the measured cross section times branching fraction for the process p (p) over bar -> W gamma + X -> l nu gamma + X and the distribution of the charge-signed photon-lepton rapidity difference are found to be in agreement with the standard model. These results provide the most stringent limits on anomalous WW gamma couplings for data from hadron colliders: -0.4 < Delta kappa(gamma) < 0.4 and -0.08 < lambda(gamma) < 0.07 at the 95% C.L.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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 t (t) over bar events. We set upper limits on anomalous tWb coupling form factors using data collected with the DO detector at the Tevatron p (p) over bar collider corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb(-1).

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We perform a combination of searches for standard model Higgs boson production in p (p) over bar collisions recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at a center of mass energy of root s = 1.96 TeV. The different production and decay channels have been analyzed separately, with integrated luminosities of up to 9.7 fb(-1) and for Higgs boson masses 90 <= M-H <= 200 GeV. We combine these final states to achieve optimal sensitivity to the production of the Higgs boson. We also interpret the combination in terms of models with a fourth generation of fermions, and models with suppressed Higgs boson couplings to fermions. The result excludes a standard model Higgs boson at 95% C.L. in the ranges 90 < M-H < 101 GeV and 157 < M-H < 178 GeV, with an expected exclusion of 155 < M-H < 175 GeV. In the range 120 < M-H < 145 GeV, the data exhibit an excess over the expected background of up to 2 standard deviations, consistent with the presence of a standard model Higgs boson of mass 125 GeV.

Evidence for Simultaneous Production of J/psi and Upsilon Mesons

In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 116:8

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report evidence for the simultaneous production of J/psi and Upsilon mesons in 8.1 fb(-1) of data collected at root s = 1.96 TeV by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab p (p) over bar Tevatron Collider. Events with these characteristics are expected to be produced predominantly by gluon-gluon interactions. In this analysis, we extract the effective cross section characterizing the initial parton spatial distribution, sigma(eff) = 2.2 +/- 0.7(stat) +/- 0.9(syst) mb.

Evidence for Spin Correlation in t(t)over-bar Production

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a measurement of the ratio of events with correlated t and (t) over bar spins to the total number of t (t) over bar events. This ratio f is evaluated using a matrix-element-based approach in 729 t (t) over bar candidate events with a single lepton l (electron or muon) and at least four jets. The analyzed p (p) over bar collisions data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5: 3 fb(-1) and were collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider operating at a center-of-mass energy root s = 1.96 TeV. Combining this result with a recent measurement of f in dileptonic final states, we find f in agreement with the standard model. In addition, the combination provides evidence for the presence of spin correlation in t (t) over bar events with a significance of more than 3 standard deviations.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present measurements of the differential cross section d sigma/dp(T)(gamma) for the associated production of a c-quark jet and an isolated photon with rapidity vertical bar y(gamma)vertical bar < 1.0 and transverse momentum 30 < p(T)(gamma) < 300 GeV. The c-quark jets are required to have vertical bar y(jet)vertical bar < 1.5 and p(T)(jet) > 15 GeV. The ratio of differential cross sections for gamma + c to gamma + b production as a function of p(T)(gamma) is also presented. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb(-1) recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p (p) over bar Collider at root s = 1.96 TeV. The obtained results are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations using various parton distribution functions, to predictions based on the k(T)-factorization approach, and to predictions from the SHERPA and PYTHIA Monte Carlo event generators.

Measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of Lambda and (Lambda)over-bar production in p(p)over-bar collisions

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We study Lambda and (Lambda) over bar production asymmetries in p (p) over bar -> Lambda((Lambda) over bar )X, p (p) over bar -> J/psi Lambda((Lambda) over bar )X, and p (p) over bar -> mu(+/-)Lambda((Lambda) over bar )X events recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at root s = 1.96 TeV. We find an excess of Lambda's ((Lambda) over bar 's) produced in the proton (antiproton) direction. This forward-backward asymmetry is measured as a function of rapidity. We confirm that the (Lambda) over bar/Lambda production ratio, measured by several experiments with various targets and a wide range of energies, is a universal function of "rapidity loss," i.e., the rapidity difference of the beam proton and the lambda.

Measurement of the inclusive t(t)over-bar production cross section in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV and determination of the top quark pole mass

In: PHYSICAL REVIEW D. - 2470-0010. ; 94:9
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The inclusive cross section of top quark-antiquark pairs produced in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV is measured in the lepton + jets and dilepton decay channels. The data sample corresponds to 9.7 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity recorded with the D0 detector during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Employing multivariate analysis techniques we measure the cross section in the two decay channels and we perform a combined cross section measurement. For a top quark mass of 172.5 GeV, we measure a combined inclusive top quark-antiquark pair production cross section of sigma(t<(t)over bar) = 7.26 +/- 0.13(stat)(-0.50)(+0.57) (syst) pb which is consistent with standard model predictions. We also perform a likelihood fit to the measured and predicted top quark mass dependence of the inclusive cross section, which yields a measurement of the pole mass of the top quark. The extracted value is m(t) = 172.8 +/- 1.1(theo)(-3.1)(+3.3) (exp) GeV.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present measurements of the differential cross section d sigma/dp(T)(gamma) for the inclusive production of a photon in association with a b-quark jet for photons with rapidities vertical bar y(gamma)vertical bar < 1.0 and 30 < p(T)(gamma) < 300 GeV, as well as for photons with 1.5 < vertical bar y(gamma)vertical bar < 2.5 and 30 < p(T)(gamma) < 200 GeV, where p(T)(gamma) is the photon transverse momentum. The b-quark jets are required to have p(T) > 15 GeV and rapidity vertical bar Y-jet vertical bar < 1.5. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb(-1), recorded with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p<(p)over bar>) Collider at root s = 1.96 TeV. The measured cross sections are compared with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations using different sets of parton distribution functions as well as to predictions based on the k(T)-factorization QCD approach, and those from the SHERPA and PYTHIA Monte Carlo event generators.
