Abstract

Upgraded Tevatron luminosity in Run-II (started 2001) has opened a new level of modern heavy-quark studies compared to that one of Run-I. Now top event samples contain hundreds of event statistics for investigation. This review mainly covers the mass measurements of the top quark produced at √s = 1.96 TeV in {ie359-2} collisions at the Collider Detector of Fermilab with the integrated luminosity samples up to 1 fb−1. As an example of the top quark mass measurements we consider so-called Matrix Element method in “lepton + jets” and “dilepton” channels of the top-quark decay. The CDF top quark mass obtained in lepton +jets mode is the world most precise single measurement of this important physics parameter. The review summarizes the essential results of the CDF top-quark mass measurement achieved and published for the recent 2003–2008 period. We consider also b-quark baryon discoveries like Σb, Σb*, Θb as well as first observation of {ie359-3} oscillations. Let us mention here that a CDF/JINR-group created significant contribution to the new CDF complex and physics investigation.
