I present measurements by the CDF collaboration of the Standard Model three generation CKM matrix element Vtb and of a special case extension with additional assumptions, using current Tevatron ttbar data. I then show how we can significantly improve the precision on Vtb and at the same time extend the measurement so it is not constrained by Standard Model assumptions, using single top production at the upgraded Tevatron.

We present a new measurement of the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ from $B^{0} to D^{*-} ell^+ u_ell$ decays, reconstructed with the full Belle data set of $711 , rm fb^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. Two form factor parameterizations, originally concei ved by the Caprini-Lellouch-Neubert (CLN) and the Boyd, Grinstein and Lebed (BGL) groups, are used to extract the product $mathcal{F}(1)eta_{rm EW}|V_{cb}|$ and the decay form factors, where $mathcal{F}(1)$ is the normalization factor and $eta_{rm EW}$ is a small electroweak correction. In the CLN parameterization we find $mathcal{F}(1)eta_{rm EW}|V_{cb}| = (35.06 pm 0.15 pm 0.56) times 10^{-3}$, $rho^{2}=1.106 pm 0.031 pm 0.007$, $R_{1}(1)=1.229 pm 0.028 pm 0.009$, $R_{2}(1)=0.852 pm 0.021 pm 0.006$. For the BGL parameterization we obtain $mathcal{F}(1)eta_{rm EW}|V_{cb}|= (34.93 pm 0.23 pm 0.59)times 10^{-3}$, which is consistent with the World Average when correcting for $mathcal{F}(1)eta_{rm EW}$. The branching fraction of $B^{0} to D^{*-} ell^+ u_ell$ is measured to be $mathcal{B}(B^{0}rightarrow D^{*-}ell^{+} u_{ell}) = (4.90 pm 0.02 pm 0.16)%$. We also present a new test of lepton flavor universality violation in semileptonic $B$ decays, $frac{{cal B }(B^0 to D^{*-} e^+ u)}{{cal B }(B^0 to D^{*-} mu^+ u)} = 1.01 pm 0.01 pm 0.03~$. The errors correspond to the statistical and systematic uncertainties respectively. This is the most precise measurement of $mathcal{F}(1)eta_{rm EW}|V_{cb}|$ and form factors to date and the first experimental study of the BGL form factor parameterization in an experimental measurement.

We present a measurement of the mass of the top quark from ppbar collisions at 1.96 TeV observed with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) at the Fermilab Tevatron Run II. The events have the decay signature of ppbar to ttbar in the lepton plus je ts channel in which at least one jet is identified as coming from a secondary vertex and therefore a b-hadron. The largest systematic uncertainty, the jet energy scale (JES), is convoluted with the statistical error using an in-situ measurement of the hadronic W boson mass. We calculate a likelihood for each event using leading-order ttbar and W+jets cross-sections and parameterized parton showering. The final measured top quark mass and JES systematic is extracted from a joint likelihood of the product of individual event likelihoods. From 118 events observed in 680 pb-1 of data, we measure a top quark mass of 174.09 +- 2.54 (stat+JES) +- 1.35 (syst) GeV/c2.

The CKM matrix, V, relates the quark mass and flavor bases. In the standard model, V is unitary 3X3, and specified by four arbitrary parameters, including a phase allowing for $CP$ violation. We review the experimental determination of V, including t he four parameters in the standard model context. This is an active field; the precision of experimental measurements and theoretical inputs continues to improve. The consistency of the determination with the standard model unitarity is investigated. While there remain some issues the overall agreement with standard model unitarity is good.
This article describes a determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ from the decay $B^0to D^{*-}ell^+ u_ell$ using 711 fb$^{-1}$ of Belle data collected near the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. We simultaneously measure the pro duct of the form factor normalization $mathcal{F}(1)$ and the matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ as well as the three parameters $rho^2$, $R_1(1)$ and $R_2(1)$, which determine the form factors of this decay in the framework of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory. The results, based on about 120,000 reconstructed $B^0to D^{*-}ell^+ u_ell$ decays, are $rho^2=1.214pm 0.034pm 0.009$, $R_1(1)=1.401pm 0.034pm 0.018$, $R_2(1)=0.864pm 0.024pm 0.008$ and $mathcal{F}(1)|V_{cb}|=(34.6pm 0.2pm 1.0)times 10^{-3}$. The branching fraction of $B^0to D^{*-}ell^+ u_ell$ is measured at the same time; we obtain a value of $mathcal{B}(B^0 to D^{*-}ell^+ u_ell) = (4.58 pm 0.03 pm 0.26) %$. The errors correspond to the statistical and systematic uncertainties. These results give the most precise determination of the form factor parameters and $mathcal{F}(1)|V_{cb}|$ to date. In addition, a direct, model-independent determination of the form factor shapes has been carried out.
We report a measurement of single top quark production in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV using a data set corresponding to 7.5 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab . We select events consistent with the single top quark decay process t to Wb to l{ u}b by requiring the presence of an electron or muon, a large imbalance of transverse momentum indicating the presence of a neutrino, and two or three jets including at least one originating from a bottom quark. An artificial neural network is used to discriminate the signal from backgrounds. We measure a single top quark production cross section of 3.04+0.57-0.53 pb and set a lower limit on the magnitude of the coupling between the top quark and bottom quark |Vtb| > 0.78 at the 95% credibility level.
