Observing WZ/ZZ production at the Tevatron in a final state with a lepton, missing transverse energy and jets is extremely difficult because of the low signal rate and the huge background. In an attempt to increase the acceptance we study…
I shall review the present status of Tevatron QCD studies, focusing on the production of jets, vector bosons, photons and heavy quarks. In general there is good agreement between the results of current calculational tools and the…

The CDF and D0 experiments have measured single and double top quark production in ppbar collisions at the Tevatron at a centre-of-mass energy of 1.96TeV. The applied methods are used to constrain properties of the top quark and to search…

\D0 has used W --> e nu events associated with a high pT jet to probe for the effects of extended source color dipole radiation in W-jet rapidity correlations. We have also studied the low energy flow in these events and shown an…

We review recent measurements of the properties of the top quark by the CDF and D0 experiments: the mass and decay width of the top quark, the ratio $R=\btwb/\btwq$, the total production cross section of \ttbar\ pairs, the helicity of the…

These lectures contain an introduction to the search for supersymmetry at hadron colliders. The Tevatron is one of high-energy physics most sophisticated tools. The high center-of-mass energy of its proton-antiproton collisions makes it an…
We present a measurement of the production cross section for ZW and ZZ boson pairs in final states with a pair of charged leptons, from the decay of a Z boson, and at least two jets, from the decay of a W or Z boson, using the full sample…
The production of a pair of jets with large rapidity separation in hadron-hadron collisions, and of forward jets in deep inelastic scattering, can in principle be used to test the predictions of the BFKL equation. However in practice…
