Abstract

The Tevatron provides 1.96 TeV ppbar collisions and allows for collection of rich b-hadron samples to the two experiments CDF and D0. The study of heavy flavor properties represents a fruitful opportunity to investigate the flavor sector of the Standard Model (SM) and to look for hints of New Physics (NP). Here we report the first measurement of polarization amplitudes in B^0_s charmless decays, world leading results on b-hadron lifetimes, and measurements of several other properties of b-hadrons.
