“…The D0 Experiment was a general-purpose detector that measured the properties of particles produced from proton-antiproton elastic collisions in the Tevatron, which by D0 in Run II [260]. Like the CMS experiment, the D0 detector was comprised of several concentric subdetectors: the central tracker, the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, and the muon system [261].…”

“…2 The Tevatron also sent a signal corresponding to the first proton bunch, with a period of 21 µs (1113 Tevatron RF clock periods) in phase with the RF clock. Further details on the Tevatron beam structure and clocks are available in [21] and references therein. The fundamental CDF clock was derived by dividing the Tevatron RF clock by 7, which gave a period of 132 ns and phased with the first proton bunch clock.…”

The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) pursues a broad physics program at Fermilab's Tevatron collider. Between Run II commissioning in early 2001 and the end of operations in September 2011, the Tevatron delivered 12 fb −1 of integrated luminosity of pp collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV. The physics at CDF includes precise measurements of the masses of the top quark and W boson, measurement of CP violation and B s mixing, and searches for Higgs bosons and new physics signatures, all of which require heavy flavor tagging with large charged particle tracking acceptance. To realize these goals, in 2001 CDF installed eight layers of silicon microstrip detectors around its interaction region. These detectors were designed for 2-5 years of operation, radiation doses up to 2 Mrad (0.02 Gy), and were expected to be replaced in 2004. The sensors were not replaced, and the Tevatron run was extended for several years beyond its design, exposing the sensors and electronics to much higher radiation doses than anticipated. In this paper we describe the operational challenges encountered over the past 10 years of running the CDF silicon detectors, the preventive measures undertaken, and the improvements made along the way to ensure their optimal performance for collecting high quality physics data. In addition, we describe the quantities and methods used to monitor radiation damage in the sensors for optimal performance and summarize the detector performance quantities important to CDF's physics program, including vertex resolution, heavy flavor tagging, and silicon vertex trigger performance.

Effects of electromagnetic interactions of colliding bunches in the Tevatron had a variety of manifestations in beam dynamics presenting vast opportunities for development of simulation models and tools. In this paper the computer code for simulation of weak-strong beam-beam effects in hadron colliders is described. We report the collider operational experience relevant to beam-beam interactions, explain major effects limiting the collider performance and compare results of observations and measurements with simulations.
