Recent new phenomena searches and prospects for Higgs searches at DØ

Abstract The upgraded DO detector at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory was installed for data taking in March 2001. One of the primary physics goals of the current run, called Run II includes Higgs and SUSY searches. This note outlines the recent New Phenomena searches and the prospects for searching the Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron in Run II.
