RESULTS OF RESEARCH-AND-DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PROPOSED INTERMEDIATE FIBER TRACKER FOR CDF

A fine granularity scintillating fiber tracking system was proposed fo r the inetermediate radial range of CDF between silicon vertex detecto r and central drift chamber. Detailed study of the expected performanc e especially under high radiation dose showed that the system is highl y efficient for the intergrated luminosity of 2 fb(-1) to be accumulat ed in Run II, the run after the Main Injector is completed. Rate capab ility study was conducted on SSPM and it was found that the high effic iency is well maintained up to several MHz that is expected in Run II.
