Electroweak and B Physics Results from the Fermilab Tevatron Collider

摘要

This writeup is an introduction to some of the experimental issues involvedin performing electroweak and B physics measurements at the Fermilab Tevatron.In the electroweak sector, we discuss W and Z boson cross section measurementsas well as the measurement of the mass of the W boson. For B physics, wediscuss measurements of B^0/\bar{B^0} mixing and CP violation. This paper isgeared towards nonexperts who are interested in understanding some of theissues and motivations for these measurements and how the measurements arecarried out.
