New Phenomena II: Recent Results from the Fermilab Tevatron

TL;DR

This paper reports recent experimental results from Fermilab Tevatron searches for new physics phenomena, including R-parity violating supersymmetry, Z'/Technicolor production, and introduces Sherlock, a new model-independent search method.

Contribution

It presents new experimental results on various beyond Standard Model theories and introduces Sherlock, a novel quasi-model-independent search strategy.

Findings

Constraints on R-parity violating supersymmetry

Evidence or limits on Z'/Technicolor production

Introduction of Sherlock search method

Abstract

The CDF and D\O collaborations continue to search for new physics using more than 100~pb$^{-1}$ of \xxbar{p} collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV collected at the Fermilab Tevatron. We present recent results from both experiments on R-parity violating Supersymmetry and $Z'$/Technicolor production with $ee$ and \xxbar{t} final states. In addition we introduce Sherlock, a new quasi-model-independent search strategy.
