Abstract

We have searched for direct production of scalar top quarks at the Collider Detector at Fermilab in 88 pb(-1) of p&pmacr; collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV. We assume the scalar top quark decays into either a bottom quark and a chargino or a bottom quark, a lepton, and a scalar neutrino. The event signature for both decay scenarios is a lepton, missing transverse energy, and at least two b-quark jets. For a chargino mass of 90 GeV/c(2) and scalar neutrino masses of at least 40 GeV/c(2), we find no evidence for scalar top production and present upper limits on the production cross section in both decay scenarios.

摘要

我们在费米实验室的对撞机探测器上，利用质心能量√s = 1.8 TeV的88 pb⁻¹ 的质子-反质子碰撞，寻找标量顶夸克的直接产生。我们假设标量顶夸克衰变成一个底夸克和一个 chargino，或者一个底夸克、一个轻子和一个标量中微子。两种衰变情形的事例特征均为一个轻子、横向缺失能量以及至少两个b夸克喷注。对于chargino质量为90 GeV/c² 且标量中微子质量至少为40 GeV/c² 的情况，我们未发现标量顶夸克产生的证据，并给出了两种衰变情形下产生截面的上限。
