CDF, recent results and future prospects

We present recent results from the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Searches for the top quark have established a lower bound of Mtop > 91 GeV/c2 (at 95% confidence level). A measurement of B0B-bar0 mixing has been obtained from bb-bar → eμ, ee events. Measurements of b-quark production have been obtained from e + X events and J/ψ + K events. The mass of the W boson has been determined to be MW = 79.91 ± 0.39 GeV/c2. In searching for new gauge bosons, we have obtained the bounds MZ' > 412 GeV/c2 and MW' > 520 GeV/c2 (at 95% C.L.). The lower limits on the quark and lepton compositeness scales are 1.4 TeV. We discuss prospects for the discovery of the top quark, precise measurement of properties of b quark, and searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model. (J.P.N.)
