Global searches at the Tevatron

  • 1. Southern Methodist University, University Park, TX (United States)

Description

We present a review of global searches at the Tevatron with D0 and CDF detectors. The strategy involves splitting the data from the Tevatron into many final states and looking for signs of new physics in the high pT tails of various distributions using SLEUTH algorithm. CDF also utilizes Bump Hunter to search for narrow resonances in mass distributions. We analyzed 180 D0 final states, 9335 D0 distributions; 399 CDF final states and 19650 CDF distributions. No evidence of new physics is found.
