Since the beginning of Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron, the QCD physics groups of the CDF and D0 experiments have worked to reach unprecedented levels of precision for many QCD observables. Thanks to the large dataset - over 3 fb^-1 of…
As is well known, $B^0_{d,s}$--$\bar B^0_{d,s}$ mixing offers a profound probe into the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. The data obtained at the $e^+e^-$ $B$ factories have already provided valuable insights into the…
Some recent CDF results on heavy quarks (mainly $b$) are presented, including baryon masses and lifetimes, CP violation in charmless baryon decays, $B_c$ production, $A_{FB}$ at high $m(b \bar b)$, and excited $B$ mesons. Typographic…
