Searches for New Physics at the Tevatron in Photon and Jet Final States

TL;DR

This paper reports on searches for new physics phenomena in photon and jet final states using Tevatron data, setting limits on models like extra dimensions, compositeness, leptoquarks, and supersymmetry.

Contribution

First comprehensive search for non-standard model signals in photon and jet channels at the Tevatron, providing new limits on various beyond-standard-model theories.

Findings

No significant excess observed in data.

Limits set on parameters of extra dimensions, compositeness, leptoquarks, and supersymmetry.

Analysis covers 0.7 to 2.7 fb^{-1} of data.

Abstract

We present the results of searches for non-standard model phenomena in photon and jet final states. These searches use data from integrated luminosities of 0.7--2.7/fb of p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron. No significant excess in data has been observed. We report limits on the parameters of several models, including: large extra dimension, compositeness, leptoquarks, and supersymmetry.
