This paper describes the mechanical design, the readout chain, the production, testing and the installation of the Silicon Microstrip Tracker of the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. In addition, description of the performance of the detector during the experiment data collection between 2001 and 2010 is provided.
We present an outlook for possible discovery of supersymmetry with broken R-parity at Run II of the Tevatron. We first present a review of the literature and an update of the experimental bounds. In turn we then discuss the following processes: 1. Resonant slepton production followed by R-parity violating decay, (a) via $LQD^c$ and (b) via $LLE^c$. 2. How to distinguish resonant slepton production from $Z'$ or $W'$ production. 3. Resonant slepton production followed by the decay to neutralino LSP, which decays via $LQD^c$. 4. Resonant stop production followed by the decay to a chargino, which cascades to the neutralino LSP. 5. Gluino pair production followed by the cascade decay to charm squarks which decay directly via $L_1Q_2D^c_1$. 6. Squark pair production followed by the cascade decay to the neutralino LSP which decays via $L_1Q_2D^c_1$. 7. MSSM pair production followed by the cascade decay to the LSP which decays (a) via $LLE^c$, (b) via $LQD^c$, and (c) via $U^cD^cD^c$, respectively. 8. Top quark and top squark decays in spontaneous R-parity violation.
We present a study of sensitivity of the R-parity violating SUSY searches with the upgraded D0 detector in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron, within a SUGRA framework. We considered the lightest neutralino as an LSP that decays into a lepton and slepton (R-parity violating decay), resulting in 2e + \ge 4 jets or 2μ+ \ge 4 jets final state. The analysis, based on scaling of the Run I results, shows that squarks and gluinos with masses up to about 0.6 TeV could be probed with 2 fb^-1 of Run II data. This work has been done in the context of the BTMSSM Working Group of the Run II SUSY/Higgs Workshop at Fermilab.
