Jets and Missing Energy at CDF
1 like285 views
The document discusses performing model-independent searches for new physics at the Tevatron using jets plus missing energy signatures. It proposes defining "modules" that capture the minimal particle content and interactions needed to search over classes of models. For example, a minimal "gluino module" would include gluinos decaying to quarks and neutralinos. The document reviews how the Tevatron has searched for gluinos using mSUGRA-inspired analyses and proposes more optimized, exclusive searches with cuts tailored to different jet multiplicities to be more sensitive in a model-independent way.
