1 Search for new neutral gauge bosons and leptoquarks at the Tevatron Alexei Safonov (Texas A&M University) For CDF and D0 Collaborations

2 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain2 Outline  New gauge boson searches: Motivation Status Of bread & butter dilepton searches More elaborate signatures with di-jets, di- bosons and top  Leptoquark searches Motivation Latest results  Summary

3 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain3 Tevatron Status  Pp-bar collisions  E(cm)=1.96 TeV  Steady data taking  About 5.5 fb -1 “on tape”

4 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain4 Why New Bosons?  Many new physics models designed to resolve difficulties of Standard Model predict new bosons: Randal-Sundrum and TeV -1 Models (KK gravitons or new gauge bosons) Large Flat Extra Dimensions (gravitons) Good old Z-prime bosons:  Sequential Standard Model  same couplings as in SM Z 0 : Z SSM  GUTs : E6  SO(10)×U(1)   SU(5)×U(1)  ×U(1)   Z , Z , Z   Left-Right and Alternative Left-Right Models  assume g R = g L : Z LRM, Z ALRM

5 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain5 RS and TeV -1 Models  Randall-Sundrum Model - a vigorous solution of hierarchy problem: Small extra spatial dimensions Curved bulk space: curvature k Graviton propagates in the Bulk All other particles live on SM “TeV” brane Coupling constant depends on k/M PL  Controls width of KK graviton resonances  TeV -1 Extra dimension Models Very similar to RS, but additional particles in the bulk (gauge bosons)  Many KK towers Running of the couplings changed  Lowers GUT scale Nearly equal energy level spacing of KK states Natural to EW scale ED size ~1/TeV But gravity is left out G Planck brane x5x5 SM brane  (x 5 – 0)  (x 5 – L) AdS 5 Bulk

6 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain6  Large flat Extra-Dimensions (ADD model) Could be as large as a few m (n = 1) or as small as a fm (n = 6) Bulk only accessible by gravity SM particles restricted to 3D brane  Gauss’ Law: M PL 2 = M S 2+n R n  M S ~ O(1) TeV  Hierarchy problem translated from UV to IR Winding modes with energy spacing 1 meV – 100 MeV  Can’t resolve experimentally, look for enhancement in the spectrum  Virtual Graviton Exchange  modifies (e.g. dilepton) mass continuum  Direct production also possible: look for mono-jet or mono-photon signature (not in this talk) Large Extra Dimensions g KK multi-D graviton SM Interactions “Mirror” Interactions Our World 3+1 R ~ 1/M S Hidden Brane

7 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain7 Z-prime in ee/   Traditional bread & butter dilepton searches  CDF updates with L=2.3 - 2.5 fb -1 Two searches: di-electron and di-muons  Use Z peak as a control region, look for excess at the higher mass CDF Run II Preliminary L=2.3 fb- 1 PRL 102, 031801 (2009)

8 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain8 Limits on Z’ and RS Graviton  With no excess, we set limits: Z’ → ee: M>0.8-1 TeV RS G →ee :  ~900 GeV for k/M=0.1  ~750 GeV for k/M=0.05 Di-muon channel results CDF Run II Preliminary L=2.3 fb -1 PRL 102, 031801 (2009)

9 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain9 Search with Dijets  L = 1.1 fb -1  Search for generic bumps in dijet spectrum Worse resolution and larger backgrounds but much larger rate!  Set limits on: Z’, W’, RS graviton q’, technirho, contact interactions 400 1400

10 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain10 RS Graviton in ZZ Channel  L=2.5-2.9 fb -1  Put in many improvements: Special forward tracking, loose lepton categories  Multiple channels to improve acceptance: eell, ll, ll+jj

11 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain11 Search in WW Channel  L = 2.9 fb -1  Optimize to increase sensitivity in high mass region Separate for Z’ or RS Graviton

12 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain12 Limits from WW Search  Sequential Z-prime Mass of 260-550 GeV excluded  RS Graviton: Anything below ~600 GeV excluded for k/M=0.1  Stronger limits if for some reason fermion coupling is suppressed (e.g. lepto/fermio-phobic Z’)

13 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain13 Search for new bosons in tt-bar  Several new results from CDF and D0: Details in talk by E. Agulio on top  Not competitive with dileptons in standard benchmarks, but new physics can pop up here if leptonic decays are suppressed Signal: one (Z’ or heavy gluon) or multiple (RS) bumps in the spectrum  Advanced analyses: JES systematics from in-situ W constraint Unfolding of the m tt spectrum

14 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain14 Leptoquarks  Provides “missing” link between leptons and quarks in SM  Scalar (standard benchmark) and vector (larger x-section, harder spectrum) variety  FCNC severely limits coupling across generations  Additional interest inspired by a few HERA events  Jargon in benchmarking: 3 rd generation as example: LQ can decay to b or t Define parameter  as BR to neutrinoless decays

15 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain15 LQs in Jets+MET Channel  New D0 analysis L=2.5 fb -1  Designed to be sensitive to small  for all generations Exactly 2 acoplanar jets Separately optimize for high and low masses

19 4/29/2009Alexei Safonov, DIS-2009, Madrid, Spain19 Summary  Both CDF and D0 are in excellent shape and maintain vibrant and active programs on searches for new physics  New data are regularly used to update analyses  More elaborate techniques lead to better sensitivity with the same amounts of data  Large top and diboson samples and detailed understanding allow broadening searches beyond standard dilepton scenarios
