Operation and physics potential of Tevatron Run 2

Physics at the Tevatron Run Ii

The Tevatron Collider Run II started in March 2002 and is expected to continue until the end of this decade. The Tevatron and the two detectors, CDF and DØ, have been performing well in 2004, each experiment is collecting data at the rate of ≈10 pb per week. The total luminosity accumulated by August 2004 is ≈500 pb per detector. The rich physics program includes the production and precision me...

Improving the discovery potential of charged Higgs bosons at Tevatron Run 2

By exploiting the full process pp̄ → tb̄H, in place of the standard Monte Carlo procedure of factorising production and decay, pp̄ → tt̄ followed by t̄ → b̄H, we show how to improve the discovery reach of the Tevatron (Run 2) in charged Higgs boson searches, in the large tan β region. This is achieved in conjunction with dedicated cuts on a ‘transverse mass’ distribution sensitive to the Higgs boson ...

Higgs Searches in Run 2 at the Tevatron

In Run 2 at the Tevatron, the upgraded CDF and D0 experiments will have greatly improved sensitivity in the search for the Higgs bosons of the Standard Model and minimal supersymmetry. In the past year the Higgs Working Group of the Tevatron Run 2 SUSY/Higgs Workshop has estimated the discovery and exclusion reach for the Higgs, combining all possible search channels and utilizing all the upgra...

Tevatron Run I SUGRA Results

We present the most recent results of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model using the CDF and D∅ detector in the contest of Supersymmetry (SUSY) with Supergravity (SUGRA) constraints. All results described correspond to analysis performed using the past 1992-1996 Fermilab Tevatron Run I data (roughly 110pb per each experiment). In particular we report on searches for stop decay in tau ...
