Recent beauty results from CDF and the Run-II upgrades

This paper reports on the most recent results from the Collider Detector Facility (CDF) from 110 pb−1 of data taken at the Fermilab Tevatron from 1992 to 1995. Improved measurements of B meson spectroscopy, lifetimes, and searches for new particle states are presented. Evidence for the effectiveness of same-side tagging techniques in the context of mixing measurements is shown. The applicability for CP violation studies in Run-II is explained. The planned upgrades of importance to b physics for Run-II are briefly detailed with an emphasis on the expected physics reach in Run-II by CDF.
