We report the observation of a narrow state decaying into J/psipi+pi- and produced in 220 pb(-1) of p p-bar collisions at =1.96 Tesqaure root of sV in the CDF II experiment. We observe 730+/-90 decays. The mass is measured to be 3871.3+/-0.7(stat)+/-0.4(syst) MeV/c2, with an observed width consistent with the detector resolution. This is in agreement with the recent observation by the Belle Collaboration of the X(3872) meson.

We present a new measurement of the inclusive and differential production cross sections of J= mesons and b hadrons in proton-antiproton collisions at s p 1960 GeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 39:7 pb ÿ1 collected by the CDF run II detector. We find the integrated cross section for inclusive J= production for all transverse momenta from 0 to 20 GeV=c in the rapidity range jyj < 0:6 to be 4:08 0:02stat 0:36 ÿ0:33 syst b. We separate the fraction of J= events from the decay of the long-lived b hadrons using the lifetime distribution in all events with p T J= > 1:25 GeV=c. We find the total cross section for b hadrons, including both hadrons and antihadrons, decaying to J= with transverse momenta greater than 1:25 GeV=c in the rapidity range jyJ= j < 0:6 is 0:330 0:005stat 0:036 ÿ0:033 syst b. Using a Monte Carlo simulation of the decay kinematics of b hadrons to all final states containing a J= , we extract the first measurement of the total single b-hadron cross section down to zero transverse momentum at s p 1960 GeV. We find the total single b-hadron cross section integrated over all transverse momenta for b hadrons in the rapidity range jyj < 0:6 to be 17:6 0:4stat 2:5 ÿ2:3 syst b.

We report on measurements of differential cross sections dσ/dp T for prompt charm meson production in pp collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV using 5.8 ± 0.3 pb −1 of data from the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The data are collected with a new trigger that is sensitive to the long lifetime of hadrons containing heavy flavor. The charm meson cross sections are measured in the central rapidity region |y| ≤ 1 in four fully reconstructed decay modes:

We report the first measurements of inclusive W and Z cross sections times leptonic branching ratios for pp collisions at square root[s]=1.96 TeV, based on their decays to electrons and muons. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 72 pb(-1) recorded with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We test e-mu universality in W decays, and we measure the ratio of leptonic W and Z rates from which the leptonic branching fraction B(W-->lnu) can be extracted as well as an indirect value for the total width of the W and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element, |V(cs)|.
