The measurement of the CP violation in the b-meson system and of b-meson rare decays provides information about the electroweak symmetry breaking in terms of flavour structure of the CKM matrix and flavour changing neutral currents. The…
We present a measurement of the $B_s^0 - \bar B_s^0$ oscillation frequency, $\Delta m_s$, using a combination of semi-leptonic and hadronic $B_s$ decay candidates selected from data collected by the D0 Experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron.…

Recently, the CDF collaboration has reported a measurement of the CP asymmetry in the $B\to\psi K_S$ decay: $a_{\psi K_S}=0.79^{+0.41}_{-0.44}$. We analyze the constraints that follow from this measurement on the size and the phase of…
We have just entered a new round in the testing of the flavour sector of the Standard Model through high-precision measurements of B-meson decays. A particularly exciting aspect is the exploration of the B_s-meson system at LHCb. We focus…

This short review reports on recent results from CDF and D0 experiments at the Tevatron collider on Bs mixing and the lifetimes of Bs and Lambdab.
The decay Bs -> mu+mu- is very sensitive to contributions from new physics processes. Thus the Tevatron and LHC experiments are hunting for an observation of a Bs -> mu+mu- signal. In this article the updated search for Bs -> mu+mu- and B0…
