Title：Evidence for the Heavy Baryon Resonance State Lambda_b*0

Abstract:

To discover and probe the properties of new particles, we need to collide highly energetic particles. The Tevatron at Fermilab has collided protons and anti-protons at very high energies. These collisions produce short lived and stable particles, some known and some pviously unknown. The CDF detector is used to study the products of such collisions and discover new elementary particles. The study of interaction between high energy charged particles and the detector materials often requires development of new instruments. Thus this dissertation involves a measurement at a contemporary experiment and development of technologies for related future experiments that will build on the contemporary one.
