Global search for new physics at CDF
Si Xie (for the CDF Collaboration)
TL;DR
A comprehensive, model-independent search for new physics at CDF examined numerous final states and distributions, finding no evidence of phenomena beyond the Standard Model in 2.0 fb^-1 of data.
Contribution
This study performed the first extensive, global, model-independent search across 399 final states at CDF, setting constraints on new physics.
Findings
No significant deviations from the Standard Model observed.
Constraints placed on possible new resonances and phenomena.
Methodology can be applied to future searches.
Abstract
A model-independent global search for new physics has been performed at the CDF experiment. This search examines 399 final states, looking for discrepancies between observation and the standard model expectation in populations, kinematic shapes, bumps in mass distributions suggestive of new resonances and the tails of the summed transverse momentum distribution. This global search reveals no evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model in 2.0 fb^-1 of p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV.
