Recent B-physics results at CDF

Conference ·
OSTI ID:758862

Between 1992 and 1996 CDF collected about 100 pb{sup {minus}1} of data at a {radical}s = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. This data sample led to a large number of precision measurements of B hadrons properties including their masses, lifetimes and neutral B meson oscillation parameters and the discovery of the B{sub c} meson. Here the author reports on three recent results: the measurement of the B{sup +} production cross section, the search for radiative penguin B hadron decays and the measurement of the CP violating parameter sin 2{beta}. These results are significant examples of the breadth of the CDF program. In 2001 the main injector will allow the Tevatron initially to deliver 1 fb{sup {minus}1} per year at {radical}s = 2 TeV. The CDF detector will undergo major upgrades which will further increase the B physics reach.
