DIS2011 C. Group ‐ Review of Searches at the Tevatron 11 Diboson Producon

•Diboson producon is one of the least tested areas of the SM

•The triple gauge verces are sensive to physics beyond the SM

•SM diboson producon share many characteriscs and represent background to Higgs and SUSY searches

The search for new physics at the Tevatron continues… • The Tevatron has been performing very well • Very Large Dataset! • Some limits are still the best! • The CDF and D0 collaborations are pushing: – for better and improved limits on particles production • Small cross-section phenomena now accessible due to large luminosity – to exercise most techniques applicable • LHC is surpassing the Tevatron quickly as expected, but surprises might still come from CDF and D0….
