We present a search for a Higgs boson decaying to two W bosons in pp collisions at √ s = 1.96TeV center-of-mass energy. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb −1 collected with the CDF II detector. We find no evidence for production of a Higgs boson with mass between 110 and 200 GeV/c 2 , and determine upper limits on the production cross section. For the mass of 160 GeV/c 2 , where the analysis is most sensitive, the observed (expected) limit is 0.7 pb (0.9 pb) at 95% Bayesian credibility level which is 1.7 (2.2) times the standard model cross section.

We measure the time dependence of the ratio of decay rates for the rare decay D{0}-->K{+}pi{-} to the Cabibbo-favored decay D{0}-->K{-}pi;{+}. A signal of 12.7x10;{3} D{0}-->K{+}pi{-} decays was obtained using the Collider Detector at Fermilab II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron with an integrated luminosity of 1.5 fb;{-1}. We measure the D0-D[over ]{0} mixing parameters (R_{D},y{'},x{'2}), and find that the data are inconsistent with the no-mixing hypothesis with a probability equivalent to 3.8 Gaussian standard deviations.

A strong signal for double parton (DP) scattering is observed in a 16 pb(-1) sample of <(p)over bar p> --> gamma/pi(0) + 3 jets + X data from the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. In DP events, two separate hard scatterings take place in a single <(p)over bar p> collision. We isolate a large sample of data (similar to 14 000 events) of which 53% are found to be DP. The process-independent parameter of double parton scattering, sigma(eff), is obtained without reference to theoretical calculations by comparing observed DP events to events with hard scatterings in separate <(p)over bar p> collisions. The result sigma(eff) = (14.5 +/- 1.7(-2.3)(+1.7)) mb represents a significant improvement over previous measurements, and is used to constrain simple models of parton spatial density. The Feynman x dependence of sigma(eff) is investigated and none is apparent. Further, no evidence is found for kinematic correlations between the two scatterings in DP events
