The $p\bar p$ collider Tevatron, with its high center of mass energy of 2 TeV is presently the unique top quark factory in the world. Thousands of top-quarks have been produced during Run IIa. This gives the opportunity to study the…
The measurements of rare decays are highly sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. In this article limits on the branching ratios of the decays B0s -> mu+mu-, D0 -> mu+mu- and D+ -> pi+mu+mu- are presented. Furthermore the first…
The most recent b-physics results from the OPAL experiment at LEP are reviewed. A measurement of semileptonic B meson decays to narrow orbitally-excited charm mesons is presented first, followed by a study of charm production in b-hadron…
While B0 and B+ mesons are well studied at B-factories, large samples of B0s mesons are only available at the Tevatron so far. Since the B0s meson consists of quarks of the second and third generation it provides a complementary probe for…
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…
Both Tevatron experiments, D0 and CDF, have searched for signs of Supersymmetry in the present Run II data sample, using integrated luminosities of up to 260/pb collected in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96TeV. In these…
We present searches for dijet and ttbar mass resonances using between 0.68 and 2.1 fb-1 of Tevatron Run II data collected by the CDF and D0 detectors. No evidence of new physics is found, and 95% C.L. limits are set on a number of new…
The Tevatron Run II program is in progress since 2001. The CDF experiment have accumulated roughly five times more data than in Run I, with much improved detectors. Preliminary results from the CDF experiment are presented. We focus on the…
We review recent results in heavy quark hadron spectroscopy at the Tevatron. With increasing data samples the Tevatron experiments start to uncover information on the b-hadrons. Most important are the first observations of the narrow Bs**…

In the framework of the k_T-factorization QCD approach we consider the production of b quark pairs in p\bar p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. We investigate the dependence of the b quark, B meson and decay muon differential cross…

We report on a measurement of $b$-hadron lifetimes in the fully reconstructed decay modes B^+ -->J/Psi K+, B^0 --> J/Psi K*, B^0 --> J/Psi Ks, and Lambda_b --> J/Psi Lambda using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.3 ${\rm…
We search for b to s\mu^+\mu^- transitions in B meson (B^+, B^0, or B^0_s) decays with 924pb^{-1} of p pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We find excesses with significances of…
In order to fully exploit the physics potential of the Tevatron Run 2, the D0 detector has been upgraded. Having nearly completed the commissioning phase, the D0 detector is starting to produce its first physics results. An overview of the…
One of the main goals of the Tevatron RunII is to look for any hints for new physics. At D0, the range of searches for new physics signals is large and one of the places we look for hints for new physics is by measuring the top quark…
Using the data accumulated in 2002-2004 with the DO detector in proton-antiproton collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron collider with centre-of-mass energy 1.96 TeV, the branching fractions of the decays B -> \bar{D}_1^0(2420) \mu^+ \nu_\mu X…
