The search for the top squark ($\widetilde{t}_{1}$) within the kinematic reach of Tevatron Run II is of great contemporary interest. Such a $\widetilde{t}_{1}$ can explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe provided $120 ~GeV/c^{2} \leq…
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…
