Data collected in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron are searched for indications of new electroweak-scale physics. Rather than focusing on particular new physics scenarios, CDF data are analyzed for discrepancies with the standard model prediction. A model-independent approach (VISTA) considers gross features of the data, and is sensitive to new large cross-section physics. Further sensitivity to new physics is provided by two additional algorithms: a Bump Hunter searches invariant mass distributions for "bumps" that could indicate resonant production of new particles; and the SLEUTH procedure scans for data excesses at large summed transverse momentum. This combined global search for new physics in 2.0 fb-1 of p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) =1.96 TeV reveals no indication of physics beyond the standard model.

Abstract: | Data collected in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron are searched for indications of new electroweak-scale physics. Rather than focusing on particular new physics scenarios, CDF data are analyzed for discrepancies with the standard model prediction. A model-independent approach (VISTA) considers gross features of the data, and is sensitive to new large cross-section physics. Further sensitivity to new physics is provided by two additional algorithms: a Bump Hunter searches invariant mass distributions for "bumps" that could indicate resonant production of new particles; and the SLEUTH procedure scans for data excesses at large summed transverse momentum. This combined global search for new physics in 2.0 fb-1 of p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) =1.96 TeV reveals no indication of physics beyond the standard model. |
