Narrow Results

We discuss recent B physics results from the DØ experiment at Fermilab. The results presented here use data sets with integrated luminosities ranging from ~ 200–440 pb^-1, collected at the Tevatron, between April 2002 and August 2004, at a center-of-mass energy of collisions of 1.96 TeV.

The single top quark production has an electroweak nature and provides an additional support to the top pair production source of the top quarks. The processes involving single top have unique properties and are very interesting from both theoretical and experimental viewpoints. Short review of the single top quark production processes is given in the paper.

Superconducting magnets have played a key role in advancing the energy reach of proton synchrotrons and enabling them to play a major role in defining the Standard Model. The problems encountered and solved at the Tevatron are described and used as an introduction to the many challenges posed by the use of this technology. The LHC is being prepared to answer the many questions beyond the Standard Model and in itself is at the cutting edge of technology. A description of its magnets and their properties is given to illustrate the advances that have been made in the use of superconducting magnets over the past 30 years.

In this paper, we study the sensitivity of the fraction of events arising from gluon–gluon fusion to the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic dipole moments (CEDM and CMDM) as well as the total and differential cross-sections at the LHC and Tevatron. The sensitivity of measured charged asymmetry at the LHC to CEDM and CMDM is also studied. We find that at the Tevatron and the LHC, nonzero values of CMDM could suppress the production rate. It is shown that the ratio of at the Tevatron is more sensitive to CEDM and CMDM than the LHC case. The presence of CEDM always increases the contribution of gluon–gluon fusion process in top pair rate at the Tevatron and LHC. Except for a small range of CMDM, the presence of CEDM and CMDM can increase the fraction of gluon–gluon fusion at the Tevatron and LHC. The measured ratio of at the Tevatron is used to derive bounds on the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic dipole moments as well as the total and differential cross-sections at the LHC and Tevatron, and the measured charged asymmetry at the LHC. The combination of and σ_LHC provides stringent limits on CMDM and CEDM.

The existence of an exactly scale invariant sector possessing a nontrivial infrared fixed point at a higher energy scale and its possible communication with the Standard Model particles through a heavy messenger sector has been shown to lead to curious unparticle effects. We demonstrate that top physics at the Tevatron can already constrain such theories. We also consider possible improvements at the LHC and delineate some striking signatures.

We present a review of heavy flavor physics results from the CDF and DØ Collaborations operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A summary of results from Run 1 is included, but we concentrate on legacy results of charm and b physics from Run 2, including results up to Summer 2014.

We present results on top quark physics from the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. These include legacy results from Run II that were published or submitted for publication before mid-2014, as well as a summary of Run I results. The historical perspective of the discovery of the top quark in Run I is also described.
