Physics Potential of a Tevatron Tripler

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-15 v2

Abstract

We explore the capabilities for new physics discovery in proton-antiproton collisions at 5.4 TeV center-of-mass energy with luminosity 1033cm2s110^{33} cm^{-2} s^{-1} at a Tripler upgrade of the Tevatron collider. The prospects are robust for the usual Higgs boson and supersymmetry benchmarks. With an integrated luminosity of 40 fb1^{-1}, discoveries at 5σ\sigma could be made for a standard Higgs boson of mass \alt680\alt 680 GeV (600 GeV for 10 fb1^{-1}), a lighter chargino of mass \alt380\alt 380 GeV, and an extra ZZ boson of mass \alt2.6\alt 2.6 TeV; four-fermion contact interactions from new physics with scale \alt74\alt 74 TeV could be excluded at the 95% confidence level.
