Title: Status of the CDF silicon detector

Conference · · Nucl.Instrum.Meth.A569:108-110,2006
OSTI ID:897258

The CDF Run II silicon micro-strip detector is an essential part of the heavy flavor tagging and forward tracking capabilities of the experiment. Since the commissioning period ended in 2002, about 85% of the 730 k readout channels have been consistently provided good data. A summary of the recent improvements in the DAQ system as well as experience of maintaining and operating such a large, complex detector are presented.
