  • Abstract
    The CDFII detector at Fermilab contains a large drift chamber called the Central Outer Tracker (COT) which is used for measuring the trajectories of charged particles. We describe a method of identifying COT tracks as cosmic rays by using the drift chamber as a distributed time-of-flight detector.
