The CDF and D0 Detectors
• Common features– High field magnetic trackers with silicon vertexing– Electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters– Muon systems
• Competitive Advantages– CDF has better momentum resolution in the central region and displaced track triggers
at Level 1 – D0 has better calorimeter segmentation, silicon disks, and a far forward muon system.

Compare data and Monte Carlo multiplicity distributions (i.e. calculate 2) for different values of fnd in MC at a given luminosity
fnd yielding minimum 2 matches data well
D0 determines luminosity with 6.1% uncertainty, with approx. equal contributions fromuncertainties on inelastic and [acceptances, fnd, fsd, fdd, andtime-dependent] ingredients of eff

Jet Measurements at the Tevatron
CDF/D0 Run II jet results presented here use the
• Additional midpoint seeds between pairs of close jets improve IR safety• 4-vector sum scheme instead of sum ET
• Split/merge after stable proto-jets found
• Jet Energy Scale: 2-3% at CDF 1-2% at D0 (after 7 years of hard work using MC tuned to data, +jet & dijet event balance)
• Energy Resolution: unsmearing procedure using /ET measured from dijet data.

D0 Collab., Phys. Lett. B 639, 151 (2006)
• Results consistent with NLO theory

Inclusive Photon + jets Production
• Similar pT dependence as inclusive photons in UA2, CDF, and D0 • Shapes very similar for all PDFs• Measurements cannot be simultaneously accommodated by the theory
• Most errors cancel in ratios between regions (3-9% across most pT
range)• Data & Theory agree qualitatively• A quantitative difference is observed in the central/forward ratios

• W+c-jet is background to top pair, single top, Higgs.• It can signal the presence of new physics• Direct sensitivity to s-quark PDF
Data Selection• L = 1 fb-1
• W(l)isolated lepton pT>20 GeV, MET>20 GeV •|jet| < 2.5, pT
jet>20 GeV• Muon-in-jet with opposite charge to W is a c- jet candidate
Systematic errors largely cancel in the ratio
Background• WZ, ZZ rarely produce charge correlated jets• tt, tb, W+bc and W+b suppresed (small x-sec)
• 3.5 significance for W+c-jet• Agreement with LO and s PDF evolved from larger Q2

32
• Measuring the Z pT distribution tests QCD predictions for initial state gluon radiation tune and validate calculations and Monte Carlo generators.
• High Z pT dominated by single (or double) hard gluon emission (pQCD reliable).• Low Z pT dominated by multiple soft emissions (resummation techniques/parton shower Monte
Carlos with non-perturbative models required).
Z pT: QCD constraints
33
• Z pT < 30 GeV region agrees well with ResBos (NLO QCD + CSS resummation with BNLY non-perturbative form factor).
• The Z pT distribution is predicted to broaden at small-x (large |yZ |) - important for the LHC!
• Broadening modeled with an additional “small-x” form factor from
DIS HERA data.• Data with |yZ| > 2 prefers ResBos without
“small-x” form factor (NOTE: non-perturbative parameters have not been retuned with additional form factor!). 2/dof= 11/11
2/dof = 32/11

Z pT
34
• In Z pT > 30 GeV region a NNLO k-factor is required. • Even then the theory is too low.• The NNLO shape agrees if normalized at Z pT = 30 GeV.

Di-boson Production

Brief summary of ZZ results
CDF (1.9 fb-1)In the 4 charged lepton channel, CDF observes 3 events with an expectedbackground of events.
Combining this with the ZZ ll channel, CDF observes an excess of eventswith a probability of 5.1 10-6 that the excess is all background.
CDF measures (stat. + sys.) pb, consistent with SM theory.
D0 (2.2 fb-1)• D0 recently published a paper on the search for Z 4 charge leptons, setting a cross section upper limit based on 1 fb-1 and first Tevatron limits on anomalous neutral trilinear ZZZ, ZZ* gauge couplings.• New prelim. result in ZZ ll channel yields pb consistent with SM theory.

Summary
Using unprecedented statistics for QCD and Electroweak processes,the Tevatron experiments are providing:
• Higher precision results that will help constraint future-generation parton distribution function determinations
• A view of higher x and Q2 processes than have ever been observed
• Higher precision results that will help us understand backgrounds to Higgs and new particle searches at the LHC
• A view of low cross-section processes, like ZZ production, and associated information on anomalous trilinear gauge couplings
And, as usual, stay tuned for new results emerging as we collect more data!

PDF constraints from W/Z data:1) Z rapidity2) W charge asymmetry
PDF constraints with W/Z eventsParton Distribution Functions (PDFs) describe the momentum distribution of partons in the (anti-)proton. They are obtained from parameterized fits to data (fits performed by CTEQ and MRST groups).Well constrained PDFs are essential for many measurements and searches at hadron colliders.
