Although the standard model of particle physics agrees perfectly with experimental data, it is unlikely the final theory describing particles and their interactions. New phenomena has been searched in the jets and missing transverse energy topology. Such phenomena may be due to the pair production of leptoquarks decaying into a quark and a neutrino or the pair production of stops decaying into a charm and a neutralino which is assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle. These searches have been performed with the D0 detector at hadronic collider TeVatron with a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. This kind of search needs a good understanding of the jet energy calibration. The determination of the relative jet energy scale has allowed them to reduce the systematic uncertainties on the jet energy measurement when comparing the data and the simulation. Moreover a new method has been developed in order to correct simulated jets for the differences observed in the jet energy scale, the jet energy resolution and the jet reconstruction efficiency between the data and the simulation. The data analysis, performed with an integrated luminosity of 310 pb{sup -1}, has not observed any excess. This result is interpreted in terms of …

The D0 experiment, located at the Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory in the US, is used to study proton-anti-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The experiment's data acquisition system is based on a sophisticated trigger system used to select potentially interesting events. The Level 2 Silicon Track Trigger (L2STT) is part of the trigger system that provides precise reconstruction of charged particle tracks allowing the selection of events that contain the decays of long lived particles. For example, such particles appear in the decay of the Higgs boson into a pair of bottom quarks. The design of the L2STT preprocessor has greatly benefited from recent advances in electronics technology. The preprocessor has been recently installed and will be used to further optimize the triggering strategy of the experiment. Leptoquarks would mediate hypothetical new interactions between the quarks and leptons of the Standard Model. The existence of such particles would be evidence for physics beyond that model. In this thesis, a direct search for leptoquarks is performed in the jets and missing transverse energy final state. For this analysis, a trigger had to be developed along with a tool to precisely determine its efficiency. An analysis of …

A direct measurement of the mass number (A) dependence of the production of the hyperon {Xi}*{sup 0} and its opposite {bar {Xi}}*{sup 0} in {pi}{sup -}, K{sup -} beam-nucleon interactions at 250 GeV/c is reported. The data derive from the experiment E769 at Fermilab. The results were obtained for different targets: Be, Al, Cu and W. It was observed the data are found to be well described by the parametrization {sigma}{sub A} = {sigma}{sub 0}A{sup {alpha}}, {alpha} being calculated for different beams. The results obtained are compared with those results of E769 experiment. The results shown here are preliminary.
