Quasi-model-independent search for new high p_T physics at D0

Abstract

We apply a quasi-model-independent strategy ("Sleuth") to search for new high p_T physics in ≈100pb^-1 of pp̅ collisions at √s=1.8TeV collected by the D0 experiment during 1992-1996 at the Fermilab Tevatron. We systematically analyze many exclusive final states and demonstrate sensitivity to a variety of models predicting new phenomena at the electroweak scale. No evidence of new high p_T physics is observed.
