B Lifetimes, Mixing and CP Violation at CDF

Abstract

We review the status of bottom quark physics at the CDF experiment. The measurements reported are based on about 110 pb-1 of data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron pp= Collider operating at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV. In particular, we review results on B hadron lifetimes, measurements of the time dependence of B0 B0= oscillations, and a search for CP violation in B0 --> J/Psi K0s decays. Prospects for future B physics at CDF in the next run of the Tevatron Collider starting in the year 2000 are also given.
