FSU physicists have contributed substantially to the DØ top quark mass results, to QCD studies, to SUSY searches, and in particular to the search for leptoquarks, which was the subject of an FSU student's Ph.D. dissertation. An FSU post-doc is the DØ expert on jet decorrelation and BFKL resummation and progress is being made in understanding this area of QCD physics.
In parallel with the maturing and completion of physics analysis, more and more attention is being channeled towards work on the detector upgrade. The DØ upgrade program underwent a successful Lehman review and was baselined, and prototypes of some of the new detectors have arrived at Fermilab and were tested in the NWA testbeam. FSU physicists have made valuable contributions to the upgrade and we expect this activity to gain importance in the future.
The following are the current contributions of the FSU HEP group to DØ:
- Physics Analysis - Top Quark
- Physics Analysis - New Phenomena
- Supersymmetric Particles
- SUGRA Single Leptons
- Physics Analysis - QCD
- Software/Computing
- Monte Carlo Production
- DØ Upgrade
- Silicon Tracker Trigger

Albert Einstein said:
Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.
Niels Bohr said:
Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum mechanics cannot possibly have understood it.
Max Born said:
No concealed parameters can be introduced with the help of which the indeterministic description could be transformed into a deterministic one. Hence if a future theory should be deterministic, it cannot be a modification of the present one but must be essentially different. |
