Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The lifetime of the B-s(0) meson is measured in the decay channel B-s(0) -> J/Psi pi(+)pi(-) with 880 <= M pi+pi- <= 1080 MeV/c(2), which is mainly a CP-odd state and dominated by the f(0)(980) resonance. In 10.4 fb(-1) of data collected with the D0 detector in Run II of the Tevatron, the lifetime of the B-s(0) meson is measured to be tau(B-s(0)) = 1.70 +/- 0.14(stat) +/- 0.05(syst) ps. Neglecting CP violation in B-s(0)/(B) over bar (0)(s) mixing, the measurement can be translated into the width of the heavy mass eigenstate of the B-s(0), Gamma(H) = 0.59 +/- 0.05(stat) +/- 0.02(syst) ps(-1).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report evidence for a narrow structure, X(5568), in the decay sequence X(5568) -> B-s(0)pi(+/-), B-s(0) -> J/psi phi, J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-), phi -> K+K-. This is evidence for the first instance of a hadronic state with valence quarks of four different flavors. The mass and natural width of this state are measured to be m = 5567.8 +/- 2.9(stat)(-1.9)(+0.9) (syst) MeV/c(2) and Gamma = 21.9 +/- 6.4(stat)(-2.5)(+5.0) (syst) MeV/c(2). If the decay is X(5568) -> B-s*pi(+/-). B-s(0)gamma pi(+/-) with an unseen gamma, m(X(5568)) will be shifted up by m(B-s*) - m(B-s(0)) similar to 49 MeV/c(2). This measurement is based on 10.4 fb(-1) of p (p) over bar collision data at root s = 1.96 TeV collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.

Evidence for Simultaneous Production of J/psi and Upsilon Mesons
- 2016

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

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present a measurement of the correlation between the spins of t and (t) over bar quarks produced in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. We apply a matrix element technique to dilepton and single-lepton+jets final states in data accumulated with the DO detector that correspond to an integrated luminosity of 9.7 fb(-1). The measured value of the correlation coefficient in the off-diagonal basis, O-off = 0.89 +/- 0.22 (stat + syst), is in agreement with the standard model prediction, and represents evidence for a top-antitop quark spin correlation difference from zero at a level of 4.2 standard deviations.

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

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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
- 2016

Ingår i: PHYSICAL REVIEW D. - 2470-0010. ; 94:9

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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.

Measurement of the top quark mass using the matrix element technique in dilepton final states

Ingår i: PHYSICAL REVIEW D. - 2470-0010. ; 94:3

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present a measurement of the top quark mass in p (p) over bar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data were collected by the D0 experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.7 fb(-1). The matrix element technique is applied to t (t) over bar events in the final state containing leptons (electrons or muons) with high transverse momenta and at least two jets. The calibration of the jet energy scale determined in the lepton + jets final state of t (t) over bar decays is applied to jet energies. This correction provides a substantial reduction in systematic uncertainties. We obtain a top quark mass of m(t) = 173.93 +/- 1.84 GeV.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We measure the top quark mass in dilepton final states of t (t) over bar events in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.7 fb(-1) at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The analysis features a comprehensive optimization of the neutrino weighting method to minimize the statistical uncertainties. We also improve the calibration of jet energies using the calibration determined in t (t) over bar -> lepton + jets events, which reduces the otherwise limiting systematic uncertainty from the jet energy scale. The measured top quark mass is m(t) = 173.32 +/- 1.36(stat) +/- 0.85(syst) GeV.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We use a sample of diphoton + dijet events to measure the effective cross section of double parton interactions, which characterizes the area containing the interacting partons in proton-antiproton collisions, and find it to be sigma(eff) = 19.3 +/- 1.4(stat) +/- 7.8(syst) mb. The sample was collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb(-1).
