Search for non-standard model signatures in the WZ/ZZ final state at CDF Run II

Abstract

This thesis discusses a search for non-Standard Model physics in heavy diboson production in the dilepton-dijet final state, using 1.9 fb⁻¹ of data from the CDF Run II detector. New limits are set on the anomalous coupling parameters for ZZ and WZ production based on limiting the production cross-section at high s. Additionally limits are set on the direct decay of new physics to ZZ and WZ diboson pairs. The nature and parameters of the CDF Run II detector are discussed, as are the influences that it has on the methods of our analysis.
