Participation of a Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) team in the research program at the Tevatron at Fermilab is described. In their work on the upgraded CDF Run II detector, the emphasis was placed on top quark physics. The JINR team was fully engaged in the data analysis of the CDF experiment, particularly, in measuring the top quark mass in the dilepton and lepton-jet modes, in measuring the top quark charge, and in searching for the Higgs boson. The JINR team made a decisive contribution to the operation of the scintillation counter subsystem of the CDF muon trigger, to the trigger based on the vertex silicon detector for selection of events with secondary vertices and to the preshower detector of the electromagnetic calorimeter. The team was involved in the construction, upgrading, and operation of the system of scintillation counters and developed a system for the online monitoring of their parameters to ensure their effective operation in Run II. The work of the JINR researchers was highly appreciated by the international CDF collaboration.
