We present an inclusive, signature-based search for groups of collimated muons (muon jets) designed to achieve high sensitivity to a broad class of models predicting such signatures and performed using data collected by the CMS experiment. The analysis searches for production of new light bosons which, depending on their mass, may have substantial branching ratio for decays into pairs of...

We present a search for the neutral higgs boson produced in associated with a vector boson using high-$p_{T}$ isolated like-sign dilepton events in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV. The data were collected with the CDF-II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We employ the Boosted Decision Tree technique for separating the backgrounds from signal events to improve the...

We present a search based on D0 data for the standard model Higgs boson in final states of two tau leptons and at least two jets, with one of the tau’s decaying to an electron and the second decaying hadronically. A number of Higgs production and decay processes contribute in different proportions as a function of Higgs boson mass. The identification of hadronically decaying tau leptons is...

A search for contact interactions has been performed using the dimuon mass spectrum based on LHC data of 5.3 fb-1 produced from proton-proton collisions and collected by the CMS detector in 2011 at center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. Unlike the expectation from the contact interaction process, no significant deviation in the dimuon mass spectrum from the spectrum predicted by the standard model is...

The large mass of the top quark, close to the electroweak symmetry-breaking scale, makes it a good candidate for probing physics beyond the Standard Model, including possible anomalous couplings. We examine DØ's data to study the Lorentz structure of the Wtb coupling. The standard model predicts a left-handed vector coupling at the Wtb vertex. The most general lowest dimension, CP-conserving...

This analysis uses the Forward Proton Detector (FPD), a sub-system of the DØ detector at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab to measure the single diffractive differential cross section (dσ/(d|t|)) at √(s ) = 1.96 TeV center of mass energy. The single diffractive candidate sample was selected using triggers requiring hits in both proton detectors in an FPD spectrometer, and a veto on hits in the...
