We search for standard model single-top-quark production in the W-gluon fusion and W-star channels using 106 pb(-1) of data from p(p) over bar collisions at roots = 1.8 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We set an upper limit at 95% confidence level (C.L.) on the combined W-gluon fusion and W- star single-top cross section of 14 pb, roughly six times larger than the standard model prediction. Separate 95% C.L. upper limits in the W-gluon fusion and W-star channels are also…

### Top quark physics at hadron colliders

The top quark, discovered at the FERMILAB TEVATRON collider in 1995, is the heaviest known elementary particle. Today, ten years later, still relatively little is known about its properties. The

It has often been suggested that the cosmic positron excess observed by the High-Energy Antimatter Telescope (HEAT) experiment could be the consequence of supersymmetric dark matter annihilating in

• Physics

Various methods of searching for supersymmetric dark matter are sensitive to weakly interacting massive particles with different properties. One consequence of this is that the phenomenology of dark

We suggest replacing measurements of the individual cross-sections for the production of W + N jets and Z/gamma + N jets in searches for new high-energy phenomena at hadron colliders by the precision
