The CDF Run II Silicon Tracking System[1]
Abstract:
Design features, functionality, and expected performance are reviewed for
the silicon charged particle track detectors to be used by the Collider
Detector at Fermilab (CDF) during the upcoming Run II of the Fermilab
Tevatron. The original design has been supplemented by addition of a new layer
of silicon mounted on the beam pipe that improves the vertexing performance of
the combined assembly. Progress has been made in many areas of
design and construction of the silicon sensors, readout electronics, and
associated systems. The resulting detector array should provide substantial
improvements in coverage and performance over those of previous CDF silicon
vertex detectors.
