Quasi-model-independent search for new high p(T) physics at D0.

We apply a quasi-model-independent strategy ("Sleuth") to search for new high p(T) physics in approximately 100 pb(-1) of pp collisions at square root of (s) = 1.8 TeV 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.

Ratio of jet cross sections at square root of s = 630 GeV and 1800 GeV.

The D0 Collaboration has measured the inclusive jet cross section in barpp collisions at square root of s = 630 GeV. The results for pseudorapidities (eta)<0.5 are combined with our previous results at square root of s = 1800 GeV to form a ratio of cross sections with smaller uncertainties than either individual measurement. Next-to-leading-order QCD predictions show excellent agreement with the measurement at 630 GeV; agreement is also satisfactory for the ratio. Specifically, despite a 10% to 15% difference in the absolute magnitude, the dependence of the ratio on jet transverse momentum is very similar for data and theory.

Ratios of multijet Cross Sections in p p collisions at radical(s) = 1.8 TeV.

We report on a study of the ratio of inclusive three-jet to inclusive two-jet production cross sections as a function of total transverse energy in p&pmacr; collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV, using data collected with the D0 detector during the 1992-1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurements are used to deduce preferred renormalization scales in perturbative O(alpha(3)(s)) QCD calculations in modeling soft-jet emission.

Inclusive jet production in pp(macro) collisions.

We report a new measurement of the pseudorapidity (eta) and transverse-energy ( E(T)) dependence of the inclusive jet production cross section in pp(macro) collisions at square root of s = 1.8 TeV using 95 pb(-1) of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The differential cross section d(2)sigma/(dE(T)d eta) is presented up to eta = 3, significantly extending previous measurements. The results are in good overall agreement with next-to-leading order predictions from QCD and indicate a preference for certain parton distribution functions.

Search for large extra dimensions in dielectron and diphoton production.

We report a search for effects of large extra spatial dimensions in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector, using events containing a pair of electrons or photons. The data are in good agreement with the expected background and do not exhibit evidence for large extra dimensions. We set the most restrictive lower limits to date, at the 95% C.L. on the effective Planck scale between 1.0 and 1.4 TeV for several formalisms and numbers of extra dimensions.

Measurement of the W-->taunu production cross section in pp collisions at square root s=1.8 TeV.

We report on a measurement of sigma(pp-->W+X)B(W-->taunu) in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measurement is based on an integrated luminosity (lum) of 18 pb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector during 1994-1995. We find that sigma(pp-->W+X)B(W-->taunu)=2.22+/-0.09 (stat)+/-0. 10 (syst)+/-0.10 (lum) nb. Lepton universality predicts that the ratio of the tau and electron electroweak charged current couplings to the W boson, gWtau/gWe, be unity. We find gWtau/gWe=0.980+/-0.031, in agreement with lepton universality.

Probing Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov dynamics in the dijet cross section at large rapidity intervals in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1800 and 630 GeV.

Inclusive dijet production at large pseudorapidity intervals (Deltaeta) between the two jets has been suggested as a regime for observing Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) dynamics. We have measured the dijet cross section for large Deltaeta in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1800 and 630 GeV using the D0 detector. The partonic cross section increases strongly with the size of Deltaeta. The observed growth is even stronger than expected on the basis of BFKL resummation in the leading logarithmic approximation. The growth of the partonic cross section can be accommodated with an effective BFKL intercept of alphaBFKL(20 GeV)=1.65+/-0.07.

[A case report of two mitral valve aneurysms with one perforation after two attacks of infective endocarditis].

Aneurysms of the mitral valve complicating infective endocarditis (IE) are uncommon. The patient was a 57-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital for a precise examination of heart failure. One year before, the first two-dimensional echocardiography showed an aneurysm of the anterior mitral leaflet possibly due to a previous attack of IE. Doppler color flow mapping detected a regurgitant jet from the mitral valve aneurysm into the left atrium during systole, which suggested perforation of the aneurysm, and an aortic regurgitant jet flowing against the anterior mitral leaflet. Because the patient's family refused cardiac catheter examination and surgery, we treated him in the out-patient clinic. A few weeks before his admission, he had discontinued taking diuretics because of uncomfortable urinary frequency. He gradually developed the symptoms of heart failure and entered our hospital. IE was suspected because of leucocytosis and slight fever. Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed a new aneurysm of the anterior mitral leaflet without perforation, located in the distal part of the old aneurysm. This time, his family consented to the surgical treatment. Aortic and mitral valve replacement was successfully performed. It was pathologically confirmed that the two mitral aneurysms had been caused by IE.

Electrophysiological effects of disopyramide phosphate in patients with sinus node dysfunction.

The electrophysiological effects of intravenous administration of disopyramide (1.5 mg/kg) were studied in 26 patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). Disopyramide shortened spontaneous cycle length (SCL) in 12 patients and lengthened it in 4. Maximum sinus node recovery time (max SRT) was prolonged in 9 patients and shortened in 6. Estimated sinoatrial conduction time (SACT) was prolonged in 4 and shortened in 4 out of 10 patients in whom this measurement was possible. However, these changes were not statistically significant. Neither were there any significant changes in PA and AH intervals nor refractory periods of the AV node. HV intervals and refractory periods of the atrium at matched cycle length were significantly lengthened. Atrial echo beats and atrial premature beats disappeared in 7 of 12 patients treated with disopyramide. In all of these 7 patients atrial refractory period were increased. Thus, the disappearance of atrial echo beats and atrial premature beats was thought to be due to a prolonged atrial refractoriness. In 4 patients who had supraventricular arrhythmias without having either marked prolongation of max SRT or episodes of syncope, disopyramide was administered orally for a long term, during which these arrhythmias and symptoms disappeared and sinus rate increased. These results suggest that disopyramide is useful in patients with SND and supraventricular arrhythmias.
