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...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2006-12-01; We report a new measurement of the tt̄ production cross section in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV using events with one charged lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse energy, and jets. Using 425pb-1 of data collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2007-03-21; From an analysis of the decay Bs0→J/ψ, we obtain the width difference between the light and heavy mass eigenstates ΔΓ(ΓL- ΓH)=0.17±0.09(stat)±0.02(syst)ps-1 and the CP-violating phase s=-0.79±0.56(stat)-0.01+0.14(syst). Under the hypothesis of no CP violation (0), we obtain 1/Γ̄=τ̄(Bs0)=1.52±0.08(stat) ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2007-05-01; The D0 Collaboration presents first evidence for the production of single top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ collider. Using a 0.9fb-1 dataset, we apply a multivariate analysis to separate signal from background and measure σ(pp̄→tb+X,tqb+X)=4.9±1.4pb. The probability to measure a cross section at ...
