Search for Squarks and Gluinos with the D0 detector

TL;DR

This paper reports on a search for supersymmetric particles, specifically squarks and gluinos, using the D0 detector data from proton-antiproton collisions, but finds no evidence and sets mass limits.

Contribution

First search for squarks and gluinos in jets and missing energy signatures using D0 data at 1.96 TeV.

Findings

No evidence for squark or gluino production.

Set lower mass limits on squarks and gluinos.

Analyzed data with 1-4 fb^{-1} luminosity.

Abstract

We report on D0 searches for scalar quarks (tilde-q) and gluinos (tilde-g), the superpartners of quark and gluons, in topologies involving jets and missing transverse energies. Data samples obtained with D0 detector from proton anti-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV corresponding to an intergrated luminosities of 1-4 inverse-fb were analyzed. No evidence for the production of such particles were observed and lower limits on squarks and gluino masses were set.
