  2. CDF and DØ detectors • Important: • Triggering • Muons • Tracking/vertexing FPCP 2009

  3. B Physics @ Tevatron • Tevatron is an excellent place for B Physics • All B hadron species are produce: B+,B0,Bs,Bc, 0b, … • Total inelastic cross section (total)/(b)>103 • Need of smart selection beginning from triggers B spectroscopy status • Mesons: • B+, B0, Bs, Bc+ (established) • B* (established), • B**(CDF & DØ) • Bs** (CDF & DØ) • Baryons • b (established) • b+, and b*+(CDF) • b- , b- (CDF & DØ) FPCP 2009

  20. Analysis strategy • Events are reprocessed to increase reconstruction efficiency of long-lived particles. • Select J/ candidates • Yield is optimized by using proper decay length significance cuts. • Select p • Optimize yield by using multivariate techniques • Reconstruction of → + K • Combine J/ + (K+) • Keep blinded J/ +  combinations and optimize on J/ + (K+) • Improve mass resolution from 80 MeV to 34 MeV • Event per event mass correction • Perform as many test as possible in different background samples • Fix selection criteria and then apply them to J/ +  FPCP 2009
