CDF Status

• Detectors/Triggers/Offline working extremely well– effort to keep them running smoothly - high L, beam accidents, aging,..

• Accelerators delivering record luminosities: > 1 x 1032

• Collaboration focused on analysis:– so far ~10% of Run II luminosity. Exciting time has yet to come!

• Upgrades necessary to keep up with growing luminosity– Detectors: Preshower, EM timing (H. Frisch)– Triggers and DAQ

• COT(Drift Chamber) TDC - H. Frisch• Level-1 COT Track Trigger• Level-2 Silicon Vertex Trigger - M. Shochet + YKK• Level-2 Decision - M. Shochet + YKK• Level-3 Trigger• Event Builder

Strength of Chicago group is that we are all focused on success of CDF.


Level-2 Decision Upgrade

• Trigger Rates:

– Level 1 output ~ 25kHz– Level 2 output ~ 300 Hz– Level 3 output ~ 60 Hz

– Level 2 critical to CDF trigger performance• rejection factor ~ 100

• Major upgrade to Level-2 Decision is being commissioned.• will be used as CDF “real” triggers starting March 2005.


Level-2 Decision Upgrade

• Primary purpose - faster, modular, more flexible, more robust– Present:

• One PC Board for every interface (6 kinds) - maintenance issues• Custom processor (alpha) + backplane (1990 technology) - slow

• Chicago has played major role since conception.– Henry Frisch was instrumental in proposing the upgrade.– T. Liu (Fermilab) led the whole effort: Chicago, Fermilab, Penn,Helsinki– Chicago engineers (with T. Liu) designed and built boards (Pulsar:

Pulser And Recorder)• Harold Sanders, Mircea Bogdan

• Chicago Personnel (firmware design, simulation, commissioning, …)– Vadim Rusu (Fermi Fellow)

• a leading postdoc for the full system and essentially 100%.– Wojtek Fedorko (grad. student)– Shawn Kwang (Shochet’s grad. student)

Level-2 Decision Upgrade: Current Status

• Full system installed• Muon board fully integrated into Level-2 decision.• Parasitic running until February for other boards.• Original schedule for installation was Summer 05

- well ahead of schedule

Bs Mixing

World limit: ms > 14.4 ps-1

SM pred. (99% prob.): 15 < ms < 27 ps-1

Fully reconstructed Bs (all hadrons) • provide the greatest reach in ms (Boost is known)• triggered by SVT• unique to CDF due to SVT and high bandwidth triggers


Bs and SVT Upgrade

• Ivan Furic(Fermi Fellow - started April 2004)– Co-convener of B physics working

group (BPAK).– BPAK responsibilities

• tool development group for Bs

mixing ++• Particle ID tools: TOF, dE/dx• Tracking evaluation: L00,

event primary vertex• Review and bless common

tools in analyses• Foster development and

evaluation of new & improved triggers (large effort)

• Clarisse Kim(Grad. Student - starting June 2005)

• Edmund Barry(Undergrad. - started Dec. 2004)

• Ultimate goal: Bs mixing

• SVT upgrade work by I. Furic (~50%) and E. Barry - see M. Shochet’s talk

• Data Analysis Goals by this Spring

– Done:

• Reconstructed Bs, B0, B± D signals

• Measured relative decay rates

Towards Bs Mixing: B0, B± Lifetimes

(with MIT, Cantabria)• Simultaneous unbinned likelihood fit for mass and lifetime• Difficulty: trigger and analysis selection sculpt c distribution• Lifetime fits for B±, B0 lifetime in good agreement with world average

c (B0) = 454.4 ± 10.3(stat.) m (PDG: 460.5 ± 4.2 m)c (B+) = 519.5 ± 12.7(stat.) m (PDG: 501 ± 5 m)

Towards Bs Mixing: Bd Mixing Measurement(with MIT, Cantabria)

• Add tagging information to lifetime distribution (SST tagger)• Fit for Bd mixing

• Next step for Bs mixing: test fitter, calibrate taggers

• Expected Bs mixing sensitivity by this spring (hadronic modes only):

– 95% CL at ms > 10 ps-1 (pessimistic), ms > 20 ps-1 (optimistic)

md agrees with world average.

Conclusion• Collider program has high potential for major discovery..• Important to harvest results from previous large investment in CDF.

– ~10% of luminosity so far - strong support over next 4 years critical.

• Chicago group continues leadership role in CDF– hardware, physics, management– Quality and impact of group (post-docs and students) is very high.– Faculty actively engaged - important for CDF’s success.– Leads several high-profile analyses.

• YKK group active in fundamental physics measurements– Top mass– Bs mixing– SUSY Chargino-Neutralino

• YKK co-spokesperson through June 2006.• Planning to move to ATLAS after CDF spokesperson’s term ends.
