No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-09-17; The observation of the standard model (SM) Higgs boson decay to a pair of bottom quarks is presented. The main contribution to this result is from processes in which Higgs bosons are produced in association with a W or Z boson (VH), and are searched for in final states including 0, 1, or 2 charged lepto...

We reconstruct the decay Ξb-→J/ψΞ-, with J/ψ→μ+μ-, and Ξ-→Λπ-→pπ-π- in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV. Using 1.3fb-1 of data collected by the D0 detector, we observe 15.2±4.4(stat)-0.4+1.9(syst) Ξb- candidates at a mass of 5.774±0.01...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2007-09-24; Long-lived, heavy particles are predicted in a number of models beyond the standard model of particle physics. We present the first direct search for such particles' decays, occurring up to 100 h after their production and not synchronized with an accelerator bunch crossing. We apply the analysis to the...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2007-09-28; We present a measurement of the tt̄ pair production cross section in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV utilizing approximately 425pb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector. We consider decay channels containing two high pT charged leptons (either e or μ) from leptonic decays of both top-daughter W bosons. T...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2007-10-01; We have measured the Λb lifetime using the exclusive decay Λb→J/ψΛ, based on 1.2fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector during 2002-2006. From 171 reconstructed Λb decays, where the J/ψ and Λ are identified via the decays J/ψ→μ+μ- and Λ→pπ, we measured the Λb lifetime to be τ(Λb)=1.218-0.115+0.130(s...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-11-21; Searches for anomalous top quark-antiquark production are presented, based on pp collisions at √s=8 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1, were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The observed tt̄ invariant mass spectrum is found to be compatible with the standard...
