Intermediate Silicon Layers


The Intermediate Silicon Layers (ISL) will provide precision space point measurements at radii intermediate between SVXII and COT. Combining these measurements with SVXII allows precision standalone tracking with up to 7 axial and 7 stereo measurements. The resulting tracks have pT resolution of about 0.4%/pT2 and impact parameter resolution of about 20 microns. This is sufficient for b-tagging and lepton identification even without the addition of COT information, and extends these capabilities into the plug region (1 < |eta| < 2). Original concept and performance measures are described in detail in chapter 6 of the CDF II TDR.
