CDF central muon detector

Search for Higgs bosons produced in association withbquarks

“…Drift chambers located outside the central hadronic calorimeters and behind a 60 cm thick iron shield detect muons with |η| < 0.6 [20]. Gas Cherenkov counters with a coverage of 3.7 < |η| < 4.7 measure the average number of inelastic pp collisions per beam crossing and thereby determine the luminosity [21].…”

“…A barrel of 216 time- * Deceased of-flight counters (ToF) outside the COT is surrounded by calorimeters with separate electromagnetic (EM) and hadronic sections covering the range |η| < 3.6. Drift chambers outside the calorimeters were used to measure muons with |η| < 0.6 [13]. The regions 3.6 < |η| < 5.2 are covered by lead-liquid scintillator calorimeters [14].…”

“…The description of these subsystems can be found in Refs. [16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Two devices inside the 1.4 T solenoid are used for measuring the momentum of charged particles: the silicon vertex detector (SVX II) and the central tracking chamber (COT).…”
