    This paper reviews the spectroscopy and decay of B hadrons at the Tevatron. We discuss the spectroscopy of excited B states (B**, Bs**) and the observation of the Sigma_b baryon at the Tevatron. The second part of this review discusses the decays of B hadrons and measurements of branching fractions. We focus on charmless two-body decays of B->hh.Comment: Contribution submitted to the proceedings of the Conference on Heavy Quarks and Leptons HQL 2007. 22 pages with 8 figures and 4 table

    Future of B Physics at CDF and DO

    In this contribution to the panel discussion on ``The Future of Hadron B Experiments'' held at the 8th International Conference on B Physics at Hadron Machines (Beauty 2002) at Santiago de Compostela, Spain, we explore the physics potential for B physics at CDF and DO in five years and beyond. After a brief introduction to precision flavour physics, we concentrate our discussion on the future of CP violation by evaluating the prospects for measuring the CKM angles beta, gamma and alpha at the Tevatron Collider experiments CDF and DO by the end of Run II.Comment: Posting for the archives: Contribution to Panel Discussion on "The Future of Hadron B Experiments".

    B States at the Tevatron

    The CDF and D0 experiments have produced a wealth of heavy flavour physics results since the beginning of Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron. We review recent measurements of B hadron states including excited B states (B^{**}, B_s^{**}) and the Bc+ meson. We also summarize the discoveries of the Sigma_b baryon states and the Xi_b baryon.Comment: Contribution to proceedings of Heavy Quarks and Leptons, Melbourne, 2008. 6 pages with 6 figures and 1 tabl

    Physics of B0s Mesons and Bottom Baryons

    Full text link
    We discuss the physics of B0s mesons focusing on CP violation in B0s -> J/Psi Phi decays at the Tevatron. We summarize measurements of the properties of bottom baryons at the Tevatron including the Sigma_b states and the Xi_b baryon. We also discuss the discovery of the Omega_b baryon.Comment: Contribution to proceedings of CIPANP 2009 conference, La Jolla, May 2009. 4 pages with 2 figure

    B Physics at the Tevatron

    Full text link
    After a five year upgrade period, the Fermilab experiments CDF and DO are taking high quality data in Run II of the Tevatron Collider. We report on the start-up of both detectors and present a selection of first B physics results from the Tevatron. We also compare different B hadron producers such as the Y(4S) with the hadron collider environment and discuss general features of B physics at a hadron collider.Comment: Posting for the archives: Invited review talk to appear in proceedings of "Physics at LHC" Conference held in Prague 200

    Brief Report from the Tevatron

    Full text link
    We report on the B physics prospects from the Fermilab Tevatron, summarizing the B physics goals of the CDF and DO experiments using their upgraded detectors. We discuss the time schedule for completion of the detector upgrades and summarize the current measurement of the CP violation parameter sin(2 beta) at CDF.Comment: Final version as it will appear in Proceedings of XIX International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energies, Stanford University, August 9-14, 1999. 8 pages plus title page; 5 figure
