Abstract

We apply a quasi-model-independent strategy (“Sleuth”) to search for new high p_T physics in ≈100 pb^-1 of pp̅ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV collected by the D0 experiment during 1992–1996 at the Fermilab Tevatron. We systematically analyze many exclusive final states and demonstrate sensitivity to a variety of models predicting new phenomena at the electroweak scale. No evidence of new high p_T physics is observed.
