  1. Search for Compositeness at the Tevatron Iain A. Bertram Northwestern University/DØ

  2. Talk Outline • Introduction • Direct Search for Composite Quarks • Contact Interaction Searches • Quark-Quark Compositeness: Dijet Events • Quark-Lepton Compositeness: Drell-Yan Events • Run II Prospects • Conclusion

  3. Three quark and lepton generations suggests that quark and leptons are composites. Composed of PREONS. Preons interact via a new strong interaction (Metacolour). Below a characteristic energy scale , the preons form metacolour singlets: quarks and leptons. Strength of interactions related to Introduction Atom Nucleus Nucleon Quark

  4. Effective Lagrangian cos M

  5. Dijet and Dielectron Variables • Dijet and di-electron Event Measure the following: Jet, electron 1: ET1, h1, 1 Jet, electron 2: ET2, h2, 2 h = 0

  6. “Typical DØ Dijet Event” ET,1 = 475 GeV, h1 = -0.69, x1=0.66 ET,2 = 472 GeV, h2 = 0.69, x2=0.66 MJJ = 1.18 TeV Q2 = 2.2x105

  7. “Typical CDF Drell-Yan Event”

  8. Dijet & Drell-Yan Production • To search for compositeness we need a good prediction for Standard Model production • Dijets: NLO event generator JETRAD, Giele, Glover, Kosower Nucl. Phys. B403, 633. • Drell Yan: NNLO CalculationHamberg, Van Neerven, & Matsuura, Nucl. Phys. B359 343. • Need to choose pdf • Choose Renormalization and Factorization scales (set equal) • Jets: Rsep: maximum separation allowed between two partons to form a jet (mimic exp. algorithm)Rsep=1.3R (Snowmass: Rsep=2.0R) 1.3R 2R

  9. Compositeness CalulationsEichten et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 56, 579 (84) Eichten et al., Phys. Rev. Lett 50, 811 (83)Chivukula et al., Phys. Lett. B 380, 92 (96)Lee, Phys. Rev. D 55, 2591 (97)Lane, hep-ph/9605257 (96)  = +1 + destructive interference  = -1 - constructive interference Only leading order calculation:Use to scale highest order QCD calculations. Dijets: Use NLO Jetrad prediction as basis Drell-YanUse Hamburg et al., NNLO calculation as a basis. Compositeness Contact Predictions M

  10. Colorons (R.S. Chivukula,A.G. Cohen and E.H. Simmons, hep-ph/9603311,Phys. Lett. B380 92 (1996) Produces similar effects to compositeness. Motivated by technicolor Add additional SU(3) QCD type group. Symmetry breaking between this and standard QCD SU(3) leads to an additional set of massive gluons called colorons Can be modeled in a similar way to compositeness: Colorons

  11. Search for excited quarks in dijet mass spectrum motivated by UA2’s observation of W,Z  JJ (Zeit. Phys. C49)In proton anti-proton collisions. Search for Excited Quarks M
