Tracking at CDF: Algorithms and experience from Run I and Run II

Run Ii Diffractive Measurements at Cdf

Diffractive events in p̄p collisions are characterized by the presence of a leading proton or antiproton which remains intact, and/or a rapidity gap, defined as a pseudorapidity region devoid of particles. Diffractive events involving hard processes (“hard diffraction”), such as production of high ET jets (see Fig. 1), have been studied extensively to understand the nature of the exchanged objec...

THE START OF RUN II at CDF

After a hiatus of almost 6 years and an extensive upgrade, Tevatron, the world largest proton– antiproton collider, has resumed the operation for the so called RUN II. In this paper we give a brief overview of the many new features of the Tevatron complex and of the upgraded CDF experiment, and show the presently achieved detector performances as well as highlights of the RUN II physics program...

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 ...

CDF: Run II Physics Projections

Cdf Note 5270 . New Physics with Cdf in Run I and Run Ii 1 Supersymmetric Top and Bottom Searches

We present here recent CDF searches for new phenomena in Run I data. The scalar top and scalar bottom quarks searches are described in the framework of supersymmetric models. We also discuss CDF limits on the Higgs boson and continuum and resonantly produced leptoquarks. Run II starting in March 2001 will allow us to considerably improve the Tevatron reach in all these channels. The Tevatron is...
