Heavy Flavor Physics: Lifetimes and Flavor Changing Neutral Currents

Abstract

The Tevatron, with $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV, can produce all flavors of $B$ hadrons and allows for unprecedented studies in the $B$ physics sector. These range from measurements of $B$ hadron properties to searches of new physics signatures. The CDF and D0 detectors currently have more than 7 fb${}^{-1}$ of data recorded. This paper presents a selection of recent results on lifetimes and flavor changing neutral currents using between 4.3--5.0 fb${}^{-1}$ of data.
