Search for New Phenomena in the CDF Top Quark Sample

TL;DR

This paper reports on a search for new phenomena in top quark data from the CDF experiment, finding no deviations from the Standard Model and setting upper limits on potential new physics.

Contribution

First comprehensive search for new phenomena in top quark samples at CDF with current collision data, establishing constraints on beyond Standard Model physics.

Findings

No deviations from Standard Model observed

Upper limits set on new phenomena

Data analyzed from proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV

Abstract

We present recent results from CDF in the search for new phenomena appearing in the top quark samples. These results use data from proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity ranging from 195 pb^-1 to 760 pb^-1. No deviations are observed from the Standard Model expectations, so upper limits on the size of possible new phenomena are set.
