Tevatron Results on Heavy Flavor Production and Decay


Book Description

The most recent results on heavy flavor production and decays from the Tevatron experiments CDF and D0 are summarized and compared with some LHC experiment results. The collected data sample refers to the full Tevatron Run II operation and it corresponds to about 10 inverse fb of integrated luminosity per experiment.




Recent Heavy Flavor Results from the Tevatron


Book Description

The CDF and D0 experiments at the Tevatron p{bar p} collider have pioneered and established the role of flavor physics in hadron collisions. A broad program is now at its full maturity. We report on three new results sensitive to physics beyond the standard model, obtained using the whole CDF dataset: a measurement of the difference of CP asymmetries in KK− and?+?− decays of D° mesons, new bounds on the B{sub s}° mixing phase and on the decay width difference of B{sub s}° mass-eigenstates, and an update of the summer 2011 search for B{sub (s)}° mesons decaying into pairs of muons. Finally, the D0 confirmation of the observation of a new hadron, the?{sub b}(3P) state, is briefly mentioned.







Review of Physics Results from the Tevatron


Book Description

In this study, we present a review of heavy flavor physics results from the CDF and DØ Collaborations operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A summary of results from Run 1 is included, but we concentrate on legacy results of charm and b physics from Run 2, including results up to Summer 2014.




Heavy Flavor Production at the Tevatron


Book Description

The authors discuss some of the results on the measurements of heavy flavor production at the Tevatron. Heavy flavor production can be used to test QCD over a wide range of quark masses (m{sub b} (almost equal to) 4.5 GeV/c2 to m{sub t} = 174.3 " 5.1 GeV/c2). In addition, it is a background that has to be understood to perform physics measurements in the top sector and Higgs searches. The results reported here are performed using the Run1 data collected at Tevatron ((almost equal to) 100 pb−1).




Heavy Flavor Physics at the Tevatron


Book Description

We report on the status of top and b quark physics at the Fermilab Teva-tron collider. In particular, we summarize the knowledge obtained by CDF and D 6 O on the top quark mass and production cross-section. We also present some new interesting results obtained by CDF with the discovery of the Bc meson and a first low statistic measurement of sin(2[beta]) at an hadronic col-lider.




Heavy Flavour Results from Tevatron


Book Description

The CDF and D0 experiments finalize the analysis of their full statistics collected in the p{bar p} collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. This paper presents several new results on the properties of hadrons containing heavy b- and c-quarks obtained by both collaborations. These results include the search for the rare decays B°, B{sub s}° →??− (CDF), the study of CP asymmetry in B{sub s} → J?? decay (CDF, D0), the measurement of the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry (D0), the measurement of CP asymmetry in D° → K+K− and D° →?+?− decays (CDF), and the new measurement of the B{sub s} → D{sub s}{sup (*)+} D{sub s}{sup (*)-} branching fraction (CDF). Both experiments still expect to produce more results on the properties of heavy flavours.




Flavor Physics at the Tevatron


Book Description

The book reviews the latest experimental results of charm and bottom flavor physics at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The measurements of lifetimes, branching ratios and mixing properties of heavy flavored hadrons provide important constraints on fundamental parameters of the standard model – the elements of the CKM matrix. Comparisons of experimental results with theoretical predictions allow to search for physics beyond the standard model or to set bounds on parameters of new physics models. The experimental techniques developed at the Tevatron are highly relevant for the next generation flavor physics experiments at the LHC. This book provides the reader a detailed summary of the status of heavy flavor physics at the end of the Tevatron data taking period and the start of the LHC program.
