SVX’, the new CDF silicon vertex detector
نویسنده
چکیده
The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) radiation hardened silicon vertex detector (SVX’) is described. The new detector has several improvements over its predecessor such as better signal to noise and higher efficiency. It is expected to have a radiation tolerance in excess of 1 Mrad. It has been taking data for several months and some preliminary results are shown.

The CDF Silicon Vertex Tracker
Real time pattern recognition is becoming a key issue in many position sensitive detector applications. The CDF collaboration is building SVT: a specialized electronic device designed to perform real time track reconstruction using the silicon vertex detector (SVX II). This will strongly improve the CDF capability of triggering on events containing b quarks, usually characterized by the presenc...
متن کاملProgress in the construction of the CDF silicon vertex detector
The mechanical design and construction progress of the CDF silicon vertex detector is described. Results on the location accuracy of the silicon strip detectors are presented and indicate an initial placement uncertainty of less than 10 Wm. The water and gas cooling system, which is constructed of low mass materials and is used to remove heat from the readout electronics, is briefly described ....
متن کاملThe intermediate silicon layers detector at CDFII: Design and progress
The Intermediate Silicon Layers Detector is presently being built as part of the CDF upgrades to prepare for the next Tevatron data taking run, scheduled to start in the year 2000. The ISL will be located in the radial region between the Silicon Vertex Detector and the Central Outer Tracker. It will add tracking in the forward region and signi cantly improve tracking in the central region. Toge...
متن کاملLatest Results on Bottom Spectroscopy and Production with CDF
Using data collected with the CDF Run II detector, new measurements on bottom production cross-sections are presented. The latest achievements in bottom hadron spectroscopy are discussed. The results are based on a large sample of semileptonic and hadronic decays of bottom states made available by triggers based on the precise CDF tracking system. 1 First Observation of the Baryons Σb and Σ ∗ b...
متن کاملImproving the parameterization of silicon vertex detector resolution distributions for the tagging of bottom and charm-flavored hadron decays for the Collider Detector at Fermilab experiment
This project was concerned with parameterizing the silicon vertex detector (SVX) resolution distributions, especially those of the r-φ plane, so that bottom quark jets (b jets) could be tagged more efficiently with a "jet probability" algorithm. Fits of the sum of four zero-mean Gaussians were produced on cuts of the data that incorporated the number of SVX shared hits (0, 1, 2, >=3), the numbe...
