CDF II Production Farm Project

CDF II Production Farm Project

We describe the architecture and discuss our operational experience in running the off-line reconstruction farm of the CDFII experiment. The Linux PC-based farm performs a wide set of tasks, ranging from producing calibrations and primary event reconstruction to large scale ntuple production. The farm control software uses a standard Condor toolkit [1] and the data handling part is based on SAM...

Heavy Flavor Production in CDF II Detector

For data collected with the CDF Run II detector, measurements of the charm and bottom production cross-sections are presented. The results are based both on large samples of fully reconstructed hadron decay products of charm and bottom made available by the tracking triggers and on a calorimeter jet triggered sample tagged by the presence of a secondary vertex. The experimental data are compare...

Quarkonia Production at CDF

Data production of a large Linux PC Farm for the CDF experiment

The data production farm for the CDF experiment is designed and constructed to meet the needs of the Run II data collection at a maximum rate of 20 MByte/sec during the run. The system is composed of a large cluster of personal computers (PCs) with a high-speed network interconnect and a custom design control system for the flow of data and the scheduling of tasks on this PC farm. The farm expl...

W + Jet Production at Cdf

The cross section for the inclusive production of W bosons in association with jets in pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV using the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II) is presented. The measurement is based on an integrated luminosity of 320 pb, and includes events with up to 4 or more jets. In each jet multiplicity sample the differential and cumulative cross sections with respect to the trans...
