Heavy Flavour Physics at CDF
We present recent CDF measurements of mass, lifetime and CP violation
properties of B hadrons. The analyzes presented in this paper use up to 2.8/fb
of data. CDF has already accumulated close to 5/fb of data which promises
significant improvements of these analyzes in the near future.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, presented at Lake Louise Winter Institute 200
Bs Decays at the Tevatron
We present measurements of the branching ratio and of the polarization
amplitudes in charmless Bs to Phi Phi decays using data corresponding to 2.9/fb
of integrated luminosity, collected by the CDF experiment at the Tevatron. The
branching ratio in Bs to Phi Phi decays is measured relative to the
normalization mode Bs to J/Psi Phi$ to be B(Bs to Phi Phi)/B(Bs to J/Psi Phi) =
[1.78 +/- 0.14 (stat) +/- 0.20 (syst)] x 10^{-2}. Using the experimental value
of B(Bs to J/Psi Phi) we determine the Bs to Phi Phi branching ratio B(Bs to
Phi Phi) = 2.40 +/- 0.21(stat) +/- 0.27(syst) +/- 0.82 (BR)] x 10^{-5}. The
polarization fractions are measured for the first time in this analysis and
found to be: |A_0|^2 = 0.348 +/- 0.041 (stat) +/- 0.021 (syst) |A_parallel|^2 =
0.287 +/- 0.043 (stat) +/- 0.011 (syst) |A_perp|^2 = 0.365 +/- 0.044 (stat) +/-
0.027 (syst).Comment: Presented at Flavor Physics and CP Violation - FPCP 2010, May 25-29,

Reconstruction of High Transverse Momentum Top Quarks at CMS
High mass resonances decaying into ttbar pairs appear in many extensions of
the Standard Model. The top quarks from these decays have high transverse
momenta and their decay products are highly collimated due to the boost into
the lab frame. As a result the standard techniques for reconstructing ttbar
events begin to fail. In this talk we discuss the prospects for detecting
booted top quarks at CMS. A new top jet tagging algorithm is presented. This
algorithm achieves an efficiency of 46% for boosted top jets and rejection of
98.5% for generic QCD jets with transverse momenta of 600 GeV/.Comment: To be published in the proceedings of DPF-2009, Detroit, MI, July

Review of Heavy Flavor Physics at the Tevatron
The D0 and CDF detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron have each accumulated more
that 9/fb of integrated luminosity. The corresponding large datasets enable the
two experiments to perform unprecedented studies of heavy flavor hadron
properties. We present recent D0 and CDF measurements, focusing on rare decays
and CP violation in B-meson decays.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure
