The book reviews the latest experimental results of charm and bottom flavor physics at the
Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The measurements of lifetimes branching ratios and mixing
properties of heavy flavored hadrons provide important constraints on fundamental parameters of
the standard model ¿ the elements of the CKM matrix. Comparisons of experimental results with
theoretical predictions allow to search for physics beyond the standard model or to set bounds
on parameters of new physics models. The experimental techniques developed at the Tevatron are
highly relevant for the next generation flavor physics experiments at the LHC. This book
provides the reader a detailed summary of the status of heavy flavor physics at the end of the
Tevatron data taking period and the start of the LHC program.
