This analysis, with more data and channels where the Z bosons decay to muons or jets, supersedes the 1.1 fb^-1 four-electron channel result previously published by CDF. In order to maintain high efficiency for muons, we use a new forward tracking algorithm and muon identification requirements optimized for these high signal-to-background channels. Predicting the dominant backgrounds in each channel entirely from sideband data samples, we observe four-body invariant mass spectra above 300 GeV/c^2 that are consistent with background. We set limits using the acceptance for a massive graviton resonance that are 7-20 times stronger than the previously published direct limits on resonant ZZ production.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-05-18T20:45:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Cn", "13.85.Rm", "14.70.Hp" ], "keywords": [ "pbar collisions", "heavy particles decaying", "z0 z0", "four-body invariant mass spectra", "four-electron channel result" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2011, "month": "Jun", "volume": 83, "number": 11, "pages": 112008 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvD..83k2008A", "inspire": 890324 } } }
