Beauty and charm physics at CDF, First results and perspectives
Among CDF physics opportunities, heavy flavour physics is one of the most prominent and promising for the Tevatron run2. Still in the run1 CDF demonstrated that high precision CP violation measurement in the beauty sector as well as B mixing are feasible at hadronic collider, we think here especially to the first measure of sin2{beta} with B{sup 0} {yields} J/PsiK{sub s}{sup 0} decays and that of {Delta}m{sub Bd}. Tevatron accelerator and CDF detector upgrades are extensively discussed in other papers to which we refer to. Here we just recall the new features relevant to heavy flavour physics: New muon detector coverage up to |{eta}| < 1.5 and lower p{sub T} threshold for single and dimuon triggers. New Time of Flight detector (TOF) placed at R = 1.4m, made of 216 scintillator bars. The TOF resolution is 100 ps allowing a K/{pi} separation at 2 {sigma} for p{sub T} (K) < 1.6GeV. With this upgrade the effective dilution {epsilon}D{sup 2} of flavour tagging algorithms will reach 11.3 % (5.7 % in run1). Completely new Silicon Vertex detector SVXII of 5 double layers, other 2 external silicon layer ISL and additional silicon layer L00 at 1.5 cm from the beam pipe; will enhance vertex resolution and acceptance. Trigger system based on L1 fast tracking XFT in the drift chamber and L2 secondary vertex selection through impact parameter measurement based on silicon hits (SVT) gives online rejection of prompt background and direct access to hadronic HF decays. Recent CDF results based on both the lepton and SVT hadronic trigger samples are presented in the following, together with highlights of heavy flavour physics prospects and plans for run2a.
