Recent B-physics results from CDF

Description

Between 1992 and 1996 CDF collected about 100 pb of data at a √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 Bc meson. Here the author reports on three recent results: the measurement of the B+ production cross section, the search for radiative penguin B hadron decays and the measurement of the CP violating parameter sin(2β). 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 pb-1 per year at √s = 2 TeV. The CDF detector will undergo major upgrades which will further increase the b physics reach. (author)
