Search for High-Mass Resonances Decaying to e-mu in ppbar Collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV

Abstract

We describe a general search for resonances decaying to a neutral e-mu final state in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. Using a data sample representing 344 pb^-1 of integrated luminosity recorded by the CDF-II experiment, we compare Standard Model predictions with the number of observed events for invariant masses between 50 and 800 GeV/c^2. Finding no significant excess (5 events observed vs. 7.7 +/- 0.8 expected for e-mu invariant masses > 100 GeV/c^2), we set limits on sneutrino and Z' masses as functions of lepton family number violating couplings.
