Search for Exotics at the Tevatron: Present and Future

TL;DR

This paper reviews searches for non-SUSY new physics at the Tevatron, reporting null results that set limits on various hypothetical particles and phenomena, and discusses future prospects for the experiments.

Contribution

It provides the latest experimental limits on multiple non-SUSY extensions of the Standard Model from Tevatron data and discusses future search prospects.

Findings

No evidence for new physics was found.

Significant regions of parameter space for various models were excluded.

Limits were set on leptoquarks, quark-lepton compositeness, and other phenomena.

Abstract

We present recent results on searches for non-SUSY new physics at the CDF and D0 Collaborations in the 1992-1996 Fermilab Tevatron run. While no compelling evidence for existence of new physics was found, the Tevatron data have excluded a significant region of the theoretically allowed phase space for a variety of non-SUSY extensions of the Standard Model. Tight limits on the existence of the following new phenomena are set: leptoquarks of all three generations, quark-lepton compositeness, 4-th generation quarks, fermiophobic Higgs, technicolor, etc. Prospects of the Tevatron experiments in Run II are discussed.
