Description
Quantities related to B decays that are strongly suppressed in the standard model may provide early indications of non-SM physics. The CDF experiment at the Tevatron collider has the world's largest heavy flavor samples and can explore rare decays with unprecedented sensitivity.
We present the first observation of B^0_s --> Phi mu^+ mu^- decays (the rarest B^0_s decays observed), a measurement of forward-backward asymmetry in B^0 --> K* mu^+ mu^- competitive with world-leading results, and the first measurement of polarization amplitudes in B^0_s --> Phi Phi decays. We also present new measurements on the following suppressed B^0_s decay modes:
B^0_s->J/psi K*(892), B^0_s->J/psi f0(980), and B^0_s->J/psi K^0_short, all of which potentially informative on lifetime difference and CP asymmetries in B^0_s decays.
