Abstract

We present the results of a search for a new particle X produced in p over(p, ̄) collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV and subsequently decaying to Zγ. The search uses 0.3 fb-1 of data collected with the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We set limits on the production cross section times the branching fraction σ (p over(p, ̄) → X) × B (X → Z γ) that range from 0.4 to 3.5 pb at the 95% C.L. for X with invariant masses between 100 and 1000 GeV / c2, over a wide range of X decay widths. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
