DØ Detector

Wine and Cheese March 14, 2003Brad Abbott 3

Status of the DØ detectors• Silicon detector

– Running smoothly: ~91% of channels are in readout– A few noisy HDIs are causing infrequent HV trips– Working on optimizing monitoring and L1 accept data speed transfer

• Fiber tracker and preshowers– More then 99% of channels are operating well– Concentrating on commissioning the new tracking trigger

• Calorimeter– Number of channels in operation is 99.9%– Precision readout is working stably and reliably– Concentrating on commissioning Level 1 calorimeter trigger in the eta region

between 2.4 and 3.3– Triggering on jets and electrons in physics runs

• Muon system– Total number of dead channels is < 0.5% for tracking detectors and ~0.1% for

trigger detectors– Detectors are operating stably– Triggering on muons (single, di-muon, muon+jets, etc.) during physics data taking

Dijet Mass Cross Section

• probe of– QCD– Proton structure at large x– hunting for resonances– quark compositeness

• data sample:– 34.1 pb-1

– ET / PTj1 < 0.7– primary vertex: |zvtx| < 50 cm, Ntrks > 4

• selection & sample definitions– ∆R = 0.7 cone jets– |ηjet| < 0.5– Njet > 1– calculate invariant mass of leading two jets

Mjj = 838 GeV

twice the σ at 1.96 TeV

Wine and Cheese March 14, 2003Brad Abbott 7

Jet Energy Scale

• methods currently used– O: underlying event, noise

• minimum bias events– R: non-linearities, dead material

• direct photon candidate events• statistics up to 200 GeV energy

– S: particle showers• jet transverse shapes in data

• errors– large statistical errors– substantial systematic errors

• increase with energy due to extrapolation

–Ecorr = (Euncorr - O)/ R*S

– for central jets : error ~ 9%

Conclusions

• Many new analyses are producing interesting physics results

• DØ is already showing exciting measurements/ more to come soon

• Tevatron program is rich and promising-We are enthusiastic about the physics through the end of the decade
