Robust new physics searches with unknown backgrounds

Searches for New Physics

Current experimental limits for new physics beyond the Standard Model and hints for deviations from Standard Model expectations will be reviewed, highlighting recent results. Possible signals that will be discussed include Higgs bosons, supersymmetric particles, large extra dimensions, new gauge bosons, dynamical symmetry breaking, muon g 2, rare decays and lepton flavor violation. The discover...

CDF Searches for New Physics with Photons

We present results of searches for new physics in final states with photons at CDF in approximately 1fb of pp̄ collisions at 1.96 TeV. We give an overview of the data-driven photon background estimation techniques used for the analyses. We report on a search for diphoton peaks and signature-based searches for γγ +X, lγ +X (X = e, μ, 6ET, γ) and tt̄γ. PACS. 13.85.Rm Limits on production of particl...

New Physics Searches at Babar

We will present the most recent results from the BABAR Collaboration concerning New Physics searches in rare B and Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) decays, including b → s transitions, purely leptonic B decays and LFV τ decays.

Searches for New Physics at the Tevatron

This paper summarizes searches at the Fermilab Tevatron for a wide variety of signatures for physics beyond the Standard Model. These include searches for supersymmetric particles, in the two collider detectors and in one fixed target experiment. Also covered are searches for leptoquarks, dijet resonances, heavy gauge bosons, and particles from a fourth generation, as well as searches for devia...
