WW and WZ Diboson Production at the Tevatron
Jadranka Sekaric (Florida State University)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
I will present the first evidence for WW//WZ decays in lepton plus jets
final states at a hadron collider using ~1/fb of data collected with the
D0 detector. The result is competitive and complementary to other
diboson cross section measurements which use the fully leptonic final
states. In addition, the analysis demonstrates the ability of the D0
experiment to isolate a small signal in a large background in a final
state of direct relevance to searches for a low mass Higgs (mH<135 GeV,
WH→lνbb) and provides a valuable cross check of the analytical
techniques used in the Higgs boson search at the Tevatron
