Look at the 2003 result links. Details Anyone here from DØ has access to our internal notes and should be able to answer further questions during this conference!

16. 16 Gordon Watts (UW Seattle) WIN’2003 10/07/2003 Conclusions Initial results for , WW *, and H ++ H -- shown. Analysis for hbb forthcoming. Other non-SM analyses being worked on –Charged Higgs, taus, etc. All results shown based on old version of analysis software –Results to be released for winter conferences should have improved understanding of detector. –Tracking and b-tagging in particular. Data Set Size –About 100 pb -1 of data shown. –Winter conferences should have over 200 pb -1 ! No detailed study of TeV Run II Reach –Run 2b Si cancellation strongly affects any analysis dependent on tracking (btagging, electron identification, muon identification, etc). –DØ is still studying how best to optimize the new situation. Stay tuned!
