CDF: Run II Physics Projections

B Physics with the CDF Run II Upgrade

During the Run I data taking period, from 1992 through 1995, CDF has acquired 110 pb of pp̄ collisions at a center of mass energy of 1800 GeV. This data has provided many results on B physics [1], and provides a basis for extrapolating to Run II, which is scheduled to start in 1999 after major upgrades to both the accelerator and detector. We present herein a summary of Run I results relevant to...

Cdf Note 5270 . New Physics with Cdf in Run I and Run Ii 1 Supersymmetric Top and Bottom Searches

We present here recent CDF searches for new phenomena in Run I data. The scalar top and scalar bottom quarks searches are described in the framework of supersymmetric models. We also discuss CDF limits on the Higgs boson and continuum and resonantly produced leptoquarks. Run II starting in March 2001 will allow us to considerably improve the Tevatron reach in all these channels. The Tevatron is...

Run Ii Diffractive Measurements at Cdf

Diffractive events in p̄p collisions are characterized by the presence of a leading proton or antiproton which remains intact, and/or a rapidity gap, defined as a pseudorapidity region devoid of particles. Diffractive events involving hard processes (“hard diffraction”), such as production of high ET jets (see Fig. 1), have been studied extensively to understand the nature of the exchanged objec...

CDF 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. ...
