A search for new physics is performed using events that contain one or more jets, no isolated leptons, and a large transverse momentum imbalance, as measured through the MT2 variable, which is an extension of the transverse mass in events…
We describe a method for searching for a light stop squark [M(stop)+M(LSP)<M(t)] at the Fermilab Tevatron. Traditional searches rely upon stringent background-reducing cuts which, unfortunately, leave very few signal events given the…

A search is presented for single production of a vector-like T quark with charge 2/3 $e$, in the decay channel featuring a top quark and a Z boson, with the top quark decaying hadronically and the Z boson decaying to neutrinos. The search…
We study the production and decays of top squarks (stops) at the Tevatron collider in models of low-energy supersymmetry breaking. We consider the case where the lightest Standard Model (SM) superpartner is a light neutralino that…
Searches for new low-mass matter and mediator particles have actively been pursued at fixed target experiments and at $e^+e^-$ colliders. It is challenging at the CERN LHC, but they have been searched for in Higgs boson decays and in $B$…

The main background for the supersymmetric stop direct production search comes from Standard Model ttbar events. For the single-lepton search channel, we introduce a few kinematic variables to further suppress this background by focusing on…

A search for vectorlike quarks is presented, which targets their decay into a $Z$ boson and a third-generation Standard Model quark. In the case of a vectorlike quark $T$ ($B$) with charge $+2/3e$ ($-1/3e$), the decay searched for is $T…
