CDF — Run II status and prospects

CDF Run II Status and prospects

Run II at the Tevatron Collider started at the beginning of March 2001. With extensive upgrades on both detectors and electronics the CDF II began to collect data. This paper reviews early Run II physics results obtained by analyzing data collected before the middle of june 2002. At the present the understanding of the detector performances is rather high so many analysis are already underway. ...

Status and Performance of the CDF Run II Silicon Detector

The CDF Run II silicon detector with its 8 layers of doubleand single-sided silicon micro strip sensors and a total 722,432 readout channels is one of the largest silicon detector devices currently in use by a HEP experiment. We report our experience commissioning and operating this complex device during the first 4 years of Run II. As the luminosity delivered by the Tevatron collider increases...

Status and performance of the CDF Run II silicon detector

The CDF silicon detector is one of the largest silicon detectors in operation. It has a total of 722,432 electronic channels, and it covers a sensor surface area of 6m. The detector has been operating reliably for five years, and it has recorded 1:5 fb 1 of data. This article discusses experiences of operating such a large, complex system as well as the longevity of the detector. r 2007 Elsevie...

CDF: Run II Physics Projections

CDF Run II Run Control and Online Monitor

In this paper, we discuss the CDF Run II Run Control and online event monitoring system. Run Control is the top level application that controls the data acquisition activities across 150 front end VME crates and related service processes. Run Control is a realtime multi-threaded application implemented in Java with exible state machines, using JDBC database connections to con gure clients, and ...
