Description
Many new physics models predict mechanisms that could produce a $\gamma$ and jets signature. We search in the $\gamma$ + jets and $\gamma$ + jets + $\met$ channels, independent of any model, for new physics using 2~fb$^{-1}$ of CDF Run II data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron from $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV. A variety of techniques are applied to estimate the standard model expectation and non-collision backgrounds. We examine several kinematic distributions including $\met$, $\Sigma E_T$, and masses for discrepancies with the standard model.
