Search for High-Mass \boldmath$e^{+}{e}^{-}$ Resonances in \boldmath$p\bar{p}$ Collisions at \boldmath$\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV

Abstract

A search for high-mass resonances in the $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ final state is presented based on 2.5 fb${}^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV $p\bar{p}$ collision data from the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The largest excess over the standard model prediction is at an $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ invariant mass of 240 GeV/$c^2$. The probability of observing such an excess arising from fluctuations in the standard model anywhere in the mass range of 150--1,000 GeV/$c^2$ is 0.6% (equivalent to 2.5 $\sigma$). We exclude the standard model coupling $Z^{\prime }$ and the Randall-Sundrum graviton for $k/{\overline{M}}_{Pl}=0.1$ with masses below 963 and 848 GeV/$c^2$ at the 95% credibility level, respectively.
