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, 360(1-2), 1995, pp. 118-124
The SVX vertex detector has been very successful in heavy flavor physi
cs at CDF, playing a significant role in both top and bottom analyses.
SVX', a radiation hard version of SVX, is presently taking data. In 1
998 the Main Injector upgrade to the accelerator complex at Fermilab w
ill provide a significant increase in luminosity, and will require a n
ew vertex detector, SVX II. The specifications and design consideratio
ns for this detector are discussed.
