Performance of the CDF Calorimeter Simulation in Tevatron Run II
نویسنده
چکیده
The CDF experiment is successfully collecting data from pp̄ collisions at the Tevatron in Run II. As the data samples are getting larger, systematic uncertainties due to the measurement of the jet energy scale assessed using the calorimeter simulation have become increasingly important. In many years of operation, the collaboration has gained experience with GFLASH, a fast parametrization of electromagnetic and hadronic showers used for the calorimeter simulation. We present the performance of the calorimeter simulation and report on recent improvements based on a refined in situ tuning technique. The central calorimeter response is reproduced with a precision of 1-2%.

متن کاملStop and Sbottom Searches in Run Ii of the Fermilab Tevatron
We estimate the Tevatron Run II potential for top and bottom squark searches. We find an impressive reach in several of the possible discovery channels. We also study some new channels which may arise in non-conventional supersymmetry models. In each case we rely on a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the collider events and the CDF detector performance in Run I.

متن کاملTHE 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...
متن کاملCDF 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. ...
