The precise measurement of top quark production and properties is one of the primary goals of the Tevatron during Run II. The total top-antitop production cross-section has been measured in a large variety of decay channels and using…
We present a summary of results from studies of quantum chromodynamics at the Fermilab Tevatron collider by the CDF and the D0 experiments. These include Run II results for the time period up to the end of Summer 2014. A brief description…
B-hadrons are an ideal tool for advancing our current understanding of the flavor sector of the Standard Model (SM). The study of B-meson production and decays is one of the key physics themes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) thanks to…
This paper describes the first measurement of b-quark fragmentation fractions into bottom hadrons in Run II of the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab. The result is based on a 360 pb-1 sample of data collected with the CDF II detector in p-pbar…
We report a preliminary measurement of the first and second moments of the hadronic mass distributions in B --> X_c lv decays. The measurements are based on Upsilon (4S) --> BBbar events where the hadronic decay of one of the B mesons is…
The Tevatron Run-II started data-taking in spring 2001 and several searches for new particles have been performed. The preliminary 2005 results are concisely reviewed for the experiments CDF and D0. Model-independent and model-dependent…
The production of the B_c and B_c^* mesons was studied in the framework of the factorization formalism and perturbative QCD. Predicted results implied that an observable number of B_c and B_c^* events can be produced at LEP I and at…
Due to the large b-bbar cross section at 1.96 TeV p-pbar collisions, the Tevatron is currently the most copious source of B hadrons. Recent detector upgrades for Run II have made these more accessible, allowing for a wide range of B and CP…

This paper focuses on disagreement between theoretical predictions and experimental results of the production properties of Bc meson. Hadronic decays of Bc are used to separate predictions of production cross section and predictions of…
The Tevatron Run-II program has been in progress since 2001, and the CDF and D0 experiments have been operational with upgraded detectors. Coupled with recent improvements in the Tevatron accelerator performance, the experiments have…
The lifetime of the $B_s$ meson is measured using the semileptonic decay $B_s \to D_s^- \ell^+ \nu X$. The data sample consists of 19.3 pb$^{-1}$ of $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.8$ TeV collected by the CDF detector at the…

A preliminary determination of the first moment of the hadronic mass distribution <(M_X)^2 - bar{m_D}^2> in semileptonic B decays has been obtained as a function of the minimum lepton momentum, ranging from 0.9 to 1.6 GeV/c. The measurement…
Both CDF and D{\O}experiments have been searching for evidence of physics beyond the standard model (SM) using the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider at Fermilab. We report on recent searches in the $B$ flavor sector, especially decays via flavor…
We summarize results of some crucial measurements of the top quark and W/Z boson properties carried out by the D0 and the CDF collaborations at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab based on data collected during Run 1 (1992-96). Among the…
We review recent measurements of the properties of the top quark by the CDF and D0 experiments: the mass and decay width of the top quark, the ratio $R=\btwb/\btwq$, the total production cross section of \ttbar\ pairs, the helicity of the…
Following the confirmation of the top quark discovery at the Tevatron, the next step is to begin studying its properties. Because the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is of the same order as the measured top mass, the top quark may be…
