Search for New Physics in the DiElectron Channel at CDF

ORAL

Abstract

We present a measurement of the Drell-Yan mass spectrum at high energies in the electron channel using approximately $400$ pb$^{-1}$ of proton-antiproton collision data taken with the CDF detector at a centre of mass energy of $1.96$ TeV. We interpret this mass spectrum to provide limits on the production rates of new neutral massive particles decaying to two electrons. Examples of such particles include $Z'$ bosons resulting from various new physics models and the Randal-Sundrum Gravitons.
