Search for a heavy resonance decaying into a Z+jet final state in p-$\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s)$ = 1.96 TeV using the D0 detector

We have searched for a heavy resonance decaying into a Z+jet final state in p-pbar collisions at a centerof massenergy of 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatroncollider using the D0 detector. No indication for such a resonance was found in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 370/pb. We set upper limits on the cross section times branching fractionfor heavy resonance production at the 95% C.L. as a function of the resonance mass and width. The limits are interpreted within the framework of a specific model of excited quark production.
