Title: The CDF experiment and recent results in B physics
Speaker: Dr Todd Huffman (Oxford)
Abstract
There are many physics results that are beginning to come out of the
Fermilab Tevatron in the area of Beauty and Charm physics. Rather than
attempting to cover all of these results, a very difficult task for a single
seminar, this talk will focus on those aspects of B physics that I personally
find most interesting, and the recent results from CDF that are beginning to
set limits which might one day shed some light on how the Standard Model works.
Or hopefully, doesn't work. The seminar will give the current status of the
Tevatron, which collides protons and antiprotons at the world's highest energy.
And it will explain why CDF is uniquely suited to study aspects of new physics
and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in unique areas.
