Measurement of the W and top mass at the Tevatron: Results and perspectives

Description: The measurements of the mass of the W boson (M{sub W}) and of the top quark (M{sub t}) are important for three reasons: (i) these masses represent fundamental parameters of the Standard Model; (ii) they determine the coupling between the top quark and the Higgs boson, the coupling being proportional to M{sub t}{sup 2}/M{sub W}{sup 2}; and (iii) radiative corrections relate the masses of the W, top quark and the Higgs boson: an accurate measurement of M{sub W} and M{sub t} would provide a constr… more

The Fermilab computing farms in 2000

Description: The year 2000 was a year of evolutionary change for the Fermilab computer farms. Additional compute capacity was acquired by the addition of PCs for the CDF, D0 and CMS farms. This was done in preparation for Run 2 production and for CMS Monte Carlo production. Additional I/O capacity was added for all the farms. This continues the trend to standardize the I/O systems on the SGI O2x00 architecture. Strong authentication was installed on the CDF and D0 farms. The farms continue to provide large … more

Higgs discovery before LHC?

Description: The standard model (SM) of fundamental interactions, has been the successful theory over the last 25 years. The overall success of the SM in describing the elementary interactions, the discovery of gauge bosons at CERN in the eighties as well as the top discovery at Fermilab in 1995, strengthened the expectation that the Higgs mechanism is the one that gives mass to all particles. At the moment the Higgs particle is the only missing pieces of the puzzle. The sensitivity of parameters of the ele… more
