Abstract

Following the successful RunI from 1992 to 1996, the CDF detector has undergone a major upgrade [1] for the RunII which begun in March 2001. The approval for the addition of a Time-of-Flight detector was granted in January 1999. The installation of the TOF detector was completed in August 2001 and its data has been included in the CDFII readout since then. The primary physics motivation for TOF is to complement and enhance the particle identification capability provided by the central drift chamber (COT) since it distinguishes K{sup {+-}} and {pi}{sup {+-}} in the momentum region of their cross-over in dE=dX. With an expected time-of-flight resolution of 100 ps, the TOF system will be capable of identifying charged kaons from pions by their flight time difference with at least two standard deviation separation up to kaon momenta of 1.6 GeV/c. Such an addition results in an enhancement of the b flavor identification power, crucial to improve the statistical precision in CP violation and B{sub s} mixing measurements.

The CDF-II time-of-flight detector

Conference Cabera, S

A Time-of-Flight (TOF) detector, based on plastic scintillator and fine-mesh photomultiplier tubes, has been added to the CDF-II experiment. Since August 2001, the TOF system has been fully instrumented and integrated into the CDF-II data acquisition system. The TOF system will provide particle identification of low momentum charged pions, kaons and protons in -collisions. With a design resolution goal of about 100 ps, separation between charged kaons and pions is expected at the 2 sigma level for momenta below 1.6 GeV/c, which enhances CDF's b-flavor tagging capabilities. They describe the design of the TOF detector and discuss its on-line andmore »« less

The CDF Time of Flight Detector

Conference Cabrera, S

A new Time of Flight (TOF) detector based on scintillator bars with fine-mesh photomultipliers at both ends has been in operation since 2001 in the CDF experiment. With a design resolution of 100 ps, the TOF can provide separation between K{sup +-} and {pi}{sup +-} in p{bar p} collisions at the 2{omega} level for low momentum, which enhances b flavor tagging capabilities. Because of its very fast response, the TOF is an excellent triggering device, and it is used to trigger on highly ionizing particles, multiple minimum ionizing particles and cosmic rays. Particle identification is achieved by comparing the time-of-flightmore »« less

Study of t$$\bar{t}$$ production in tau jets channel at CDFII using neural networks

Thesis/Dissertation Amerio, Silvia

CDF (Collider Detector at Fermilab) is a particle detector located at Fermi National Laboratories, near Chicago. it allows to study decay products of p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions at center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. During its first period of data taking (RunI), CDF observed for the first time the top quark (1995). The current period of data taking (RunII) is devoted to precise measurements of top properties and to search for new physics. This thesis work is about the top decay channel named τ + jets.

Thesis/Dissertation Usynin, Denys

The authors study the yields of charged kaons, charged pions, and protons produced in association with B mesons produced in proton-antiproton collisions at center of mass energy 1960 GeV using 355 pb^-1 of data collected with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. This is the first reported measurements of these yields at a hadron collider. The B mesons are reconstructed using their semileptonic decays: B⁰ → ℓ⁺D^-X, D^- → K⁺π^-π^-; B⁰ → ℓ⁺D*^-X, D*^- → π^-$$\bar{D}$$⁰,$$\bar{D}$$⁰ → K⁺π^-; B⁺ → ℓ⁺$$\bar{D}$$⁰X, $$\bar{D}$$⁰ → K⁺π^-; B_s→ℓ⁺D$$-\atop{s}$$ X, D$$-\atop{s}$$ → π^-Φ,Φ → K⁺K^-.

The CDF Online Silicon Vertex Tracker

Conference Fiori, I

The Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) is the new trigger processor which reconstructs 2-D tracks with high speed and accuracy at the level 2 trigger of the CDFII experiment. SVT allows tagging events with secondary vertices and therefore enhances the CDFII B-physics capability. SVT has been fully assembled and operational since the beginning of Tevatron RunII in April 2001. In this paper we briefly review the SVT design and physics motivation and then describe its performance during the early phase of CDF RunII.
