Discovering the Higgs with Low Mass Muon Pairs

Phys. Rev. D 79 (2009) 115006

Shows that a Higgs boson decaying to light pseudoscalars can be discovered via the subdominant channel where one pseudoscalar decays to muon pairs, enabling coverage at the Tevatron and early LHC even when the pseudoscalar mass is below 10 GeV.

Model-Independent Jets plus Missing Energy Searches

Phys. Rev. D 79 (2009) 015005

Proposes a model-agnostic approach to jets + missing energy searches at the LHC by defining kinematic bins and publishing differential cross-section limits that can be reinterpreted for any BSM model producing the same final state.

Searching for Directly Decaying Gluinos at the Tevatron

Phys. Lett. B 666 (2008) 34-37

Shows how to search the complete kinematic parameter space for pair-produced color octets decaying to two jets plus missing energy at the Tevatron, demonstrating that CMSSM-motivated cuts cause existing searches to miss discoverable spectra.

Searching for Gluinos at the Tevatron and Beyond

Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 23 (2008) 4637-4646

Conference proceedings reviewing search strategies for gluinos at the Tevatron and the upcoming LHC, summarizing the model-independent approach to jets plus missing energy searches.

Four Taus at the Tevatron

Studies extensions of the Standard Model where the Higgs decays via a cascade to four tau leptons and shows that multi-lepton excesses could be visible at the Tevatron with 6 fb^-1 for a 110 GeV Higgs.

CDF Central Outer Tracker

Nucl. Instrum. Meth. A 526 (2004) 249-299

Describes the design, construction, front-end electronics, high-voltage system, and drift properties of the Central Outer Tracker, the cylindrical drift chamber that provided charged-particle tracking for the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron during Run 2.
