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…
In Randall-Sundrum models with gauge bosons and fermions in the extra dimensional bulk, it is possible to build models of flavor by localizing the fermions in the extra dimension. Since the Higgs must be localized at or close to the TeV…
