  • Abstract
    The CDF Run II Silicon Detector is the largest operating silicon detector in High Energy Physics. Its approximately 750,000 channels spread over 7 m2 of silicon micro-strip sensors allow precision tracking and vertexing. The CDF silicon detector played a critical role in the discovery of Bs mixing and is used extensively for the current Higgs Boson searches. Over the last 8 years, the detector efficiency has remained stable at 95% after the Run II commissioning period. We discuss the problems with the infrastructure (cooling, power supplies, etc) that we have encountered.
