WHY the 3rd generation?• The 3rd generation allows exploring important aspects

of Particle Physics: the

• Some key particles are made of heavy quarks (ex: the B mesons) • and/or decay into 3rd generation objects (ex: H0 but also Z0 →τ+τ-) • This decay channel may become even a dominant; ex:

τ-lepton becomes dominant in certain BSM cases (ex: also H0 if MSSM-like)• Third generation processes are backgrounds to NP (ex: top paire production…)

3rd generation objects detection has made impressive advances especially at CDF:

b-tagging & triggeringτ-tagging & triggering

but it’s quite challenging especially at hadron colliders

and challenging anyway: each member of the THIRD family has its own peculiarities

HOW TO DETECT THEM?

Concluding remarks: perspectives• CDF has been instrumental in developing the tools (hard-

software) to exploit the potential of the 3rd generation to tackle New Physics

• This is a particularly “high-tech Physics”: Theory, detector, analysis points of view

• Identifying these tricky objects (3rd family not and easy family…) in real time is a preriquisit especially in hadron colliders

• The future is in an heavy flavored world: LHC experiments must address very soon this issue and upgrade their detecting capacity consequently

• In this aspect also CDF is a precursor and pioneer: breakthroughs may still be expected
