Description

We present the results of a broad search for indications of new physics at the electroweak scale. We examine an exposure of 1 fb-1 to pbar p interactions at the Fermilab Tevatron at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector. We concentrate on final states involving leptons, but the searches are done in a model independent way. We analyze the data for deviations from the predictions of the standard model, rather than focusing on specific new-physics predictions of alternative models.
