This lecture discusses the latest physics results from the Tevatron accelerator, including the observation of Bs-mixing, new baryon states, charmless B decays, and evidence for Do-Dobar mixing. Precision measurements of the W and top masses, as well as the discovery of the WZ and ZZ bosons, are also highlighted. The lecture concludes with the search for Higgs boson decays to top quarks and measurements of the Z and W boson cross sections.

Signal cone Isolation cone The Z→tt Cross Section (CDF) • Taus are difficult to reconstruct at hadron colliders • Exploit event topology to suppress backgrounds (QCD & W+jet). • Measurement of cross section important for Higgs and SUSY analyses. • CDF strategy of hadronic τ reconstruction: • Study charged tracks define signal and isolation cone (isolation = require no tracks in isolation cone). • Use hadronic calorimeter clusters (to suppress electron background). • π0 detected by the CES detector and required to be in the signal cone. • CES: resolution 2-3mm, proportional strip/wire drift chamber at 6X0 of EM calorimeter.

W+ W- y antiproton proton e+ u W+ p p d u e W Production Charge Asymmetry • There are more u-quarks than d-quarks at high x in the proton and hence the W+ (W-) is boosted in the direction of the incoming proton (antiproton). • Measuring the W± asymmetry constrains the PDF’s!

New since IMFP2006 W Production Charge Asymmetry • Since the longitudinal momentum of the neutrino, pL(n), is not known the W rapidity cannot be reconstructed. • So previously one looked at the the electron charge asymmetry. • The V-A structure of the W+ (W-) decay favors a backward e+ (forward e-) which “dilutes” the W charge asymmetry! • New CDF measurement performed in W→en channel. • pL(n) is determined by constraining MW = 80.4 GeV leaving two possible yW solutions. Each solution receives a probability weight according to the V-A decay structure and the W cross-section, s(yW). • The process is iterated since s(yW) depends on the asymmetry.
