B Physics at the Tevatron

Abstract

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
