This report summarizes the flavor tagging techniques developed at the CDF and D{O}experiments. Flavor tagging involves identification of the B meson flavor atproduction, whether its constituent is a quark or an anti-quark. It is crucial for measuring the oscillation frequency of neutral B mesons, both in the B^0 and B_S system. The two experiments have developed their unique approaches to flavor tagging, using neural networks, and likelihood methods to disentangle tracks from $b$ decays from other tracks. This report discusses these techniques and the measurement of B^0 mixing, as a means to calibrate the taggers.

We report on the first calibration of the standard Belle II $B$-flavor tagger using the full data set collected at the $Upsilon(4{rm S})$ resonance in 2019 with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider, corresponding to 8.7 fb$^{-1}$ of integr ated luminosity. The calibration is performed by reconstructing various hadronic charmed $B$-meson decays with flavor-specific final states. We use simulation to optimize our event selection criteria and to train the flavor tagging algorithm. We determine the tagging efficiency and the fraction of wrongly identified tag-side $B$~candidates from a measurement of the time-integrated $B^0-overline{B}^0$ mixing probability. The total effective efficiency is measured to be $varepsilon_{rm eff} = big(33.8 pm 3.6(text{stat}) pm 1.6(text{sys})big)%$, which is in good agreement with the predictions from simulation and comparable with the best one obtained by the Belle experiment. The results show a good understanding of the detector performance and offer a basis for future calibrations.
Processes involving flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) provide excellent signatures with which to search for evidence of new physics. They have very small branching fractions in the Standard Model since they are highly suppressed by Glashow-Ilio poulos-Maiani (GIM) mechanism. They occur only through higher order diagrams, and new particles contributions can provide a significant enhancements, which would be an uniquevocal signs of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we present the most recent measurements on FCNC processes performed by CDF and D0 Collaborations, while last section is devote to the charm physics at CDF.

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 stan dard 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.

We describe a flavor tagging algorithm used in measurements of the CP violation parameter sin2phi_1 at the Belle experiment. Efficiencies and wrong tag fractions are evaluated using flavor-specific B meson decays into hadronic and semileptonic modes. We achieve a total effective efficiency of $ 28.8 +- 0.6 %.

We present results from CDF and DO on $Wgamma$ and $Zgamma$ productions in $pbar{p}$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=1.8~{rm TeV}.$ The goal of the analyses is to test the non-abelian self-couplings of the $W$, $Z$ and photon, one of the most direct consequen ces of the $SU(2)_Lotimes U(1)_Y$ gauge symmetry. We present direct measurements of $WWgamma$ couplings and limits on $ZZgamma$ and $Zgammagamma$ couplings, based on $pbar{p}rightarrow ell ugamma + X$ and $pbar{p}rightarrow ellellgamma+X$ events, respectively, observed during the 1992--1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.
