Recent heavy flavor results from the Tevatron


Abstract in English

The CDF and D0 experiments at the Tevatron ppbar collider have pioneered and established the role of flavor physics in hadron collisions. A broad program is now at its full maturity. We report on three new results sensitive to physics beyond the standard model, obtained using the whole CDF dataset: a measurement of the difference of CP asymmetries in $K^+K^-$ and $pi^+pi^-$ decays of $D^0$ mesons, new bounds on the $B^0_s$ mixing phase and on the decay width difference of $B^0_s$ mass-eigenstates, and an update of the summer 2011 search for $B^0_(s)$ mesons decaying into pairs of muons. Finally, the D0 confirmation of the observation of a new hadron, the $chi_b(3P)$ state, is briefly mentioned.
