J. Antos et al., THE SVX-II SILICON VERTEX DETECTOR UPGRADE AT CDF, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 383(1), 1996, pp. 13-20
Precision tracking and vertex reconstruction play a crucial role in he
avy flavor physics at CDF, in reconstructing the charm and beauty deca
y vertices in beauty and top events. A significant upgrade to the CDF
detector, including a new silicon tracker, will support an extensive p
hysics program with the high luminosity provided by the Main Injector
accelerator upgrade. The specifications and design considerations for
this new silicon tracker/vertex detector are discussed.
