$$B$$ mixing and CP violation at CDF

Conference ·
OSTI ID:434905
The mixing of the neutral {bold B} mesons and the violation of CP symmetry in the {bold B} sector can be investigated at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The most severe challenge that these measurements pose is tagging the flavor of a B meson at production. Here we present in detail the method of same side tagging (SST), which is used to obtain new measurement of the {ital B}{sup 0} mass difference {Delta}{ital m{sub d}} = 0.446 {+-} 0.057({ital stat}) + 0. 034 - 0.031({ital syst}) ps{sup -1}. The significance of SST and other tagging methods for physics during Run II of the Tevatron is discussed.
