The lighter superpartner of the top quark ($\tt_1$) may be considerably lighter than squarks of the first two generations, and hence may be accessible to Tevatron collider searches, even if the other squarks and the gluino are too heavy.…
We describe a silicon microstrip detector interleaved with segments of a beryllium oxide target which was used in the FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab. The detector was designed to improve the vertex resolution and to enhance…

If the Technicolor omega_T particle exists, a likely decay mode is omega_T -> gamma pi_T, followed by pi_T -> bb-bar, yielding the signature gamma bb-bar. We have searched 85 pb^-1 of data collected by the CDF experiment at the Fermilab…
We investigate the Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) process $e^{+}e^{-}\to e^{+}e^{-}e\mu$ ($e=e^-,\,e^+,\,\mu=\mu^-,\,\mu^+ $) at future circular colliders, probing the effective $\gamma\gamma e\mu$ interaction through photon fusion. Within…
