The Cdf-ii Online Silicon Vertex Tracker
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Online Silicon Vertex Tracker is the new CDF-II level 2 trigger processor designed to reconstruct 2-D tracks within the Silicon Vertex Detector with high speed and accuracy. By performing a precise measurement of impact parameters the SVT allows tagging online B events which typically show displaced secondary vertices. Physics simulations show that this will greatly enhance the CDF-II B-physics capability. The SVT has been fully assembled and operational since the beginning of Tevatron RunII in April 2001. In this paper we briefly review the SVT design and physics motivation and then describe its performance during the early phase (April-October 2001) of run II.

متن کاملThe 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 کاملCharm and Beauty Production at Cdf
The Tevatron at Fermilab is at present the world’s highest energy particle accelerator. After extensive refurbishments, data taking for Run II started in 2001, and by the end of 2003 over 200 pb of usable integrated luminosity had been accumulated by each Collider experiment, double the total for Run I. In preparation for Run II, the CDF detector also underwent an extensive upgrade. Of special ...
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 کاملElectroWeak Symmetry Breaking in Tevatron Run II
The Tevatron Run II will provide CDF and D0 with a large dataset of pp interactions collected at √ s = 2TeV. We discuss the opportunity for the two experiments to improve the understanding of electroweak and top physics in the first years of data taking (Run IIa, 2fb) in view of the upgrades of the detectors. We also discuss the prospectives for a Higgs discovery at the Tevatron in view of the ...
