The search uses data corresponding to 2.0/fb of integrated luminosity from p-pbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. From 6,697,466 events with a photon candidate with transverse energy ET> 25 GeV, we find 617 events with missing transverse energy > 25 GeV and two or more jets with ET> 15 GeV, at least one identified as originating from a b quark, versus an expectation of 607+- 113 events. Increasing the requirement on missing transverse energy to 50 GeV, we find 28 events versus an expectation of 30+-11 events. We find no indications of non-standard-model phenomena.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-05-02T20:40:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Jv", "14.80.Ly", "13.85.Qk" ], "keywords": [ "missing transverse energy", "anomalous production", "b-quark jet", "p-pbar collisions", "fermilab tevatron" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2009, "month": "Sep", "volume": 80, "number": 5, "pages": "052003" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 819316, "adsabs": "2009PhRvD..80e2003A" } } }
