2. Trigger Upgrades • Almost all events recorded by CDF require tracks or jets in the Level 1 trigger. • Trigger bandwidth has remained approximately constant. • At high luminosity, trigger rate is dominated by fakes and grows rapidly with increasing instantaneous luminosity. • Without upgrades, high bandwidth triggers (B-physics) are pre-scaled (ie, dropped) at high luminosity. • Purdue played an important role in the selection and implementation of the trigger upgrade path. c. 2004 today 2008 DOE review

3. Trigger Rates at High Luminosity • Confirm tracks using hits on stereo wires 2008 DOE review

5. Trigger Upgrade Contributions • Efficiency analysis carried out by Purdue demonstrated operational readiness in October 2006. • Very good performance for high pT tracks. • Efficiency for low momentum tracks disfavored pursuing multi-track B-trigger proposals. • Summary presented at Real-Time 2007 conference • Published as IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. vol. 55, pp. 126-132, 2008. • Purdue responsibility expanded to oversee the commissioning of Level 2 interfaces (UC Davis). • Level 2 calorimeter (ie, Jet/MET) trigger upgrade: • Purdue involvement with analysis. • Existing experience with Level 2 trigger operations • Flanagan  Trigger representative to QCD group 2008 DOE review

6. Level 2 Calorimeter Trigger • Remaining trigger bottle-neck for high luminosity operation is the calorimeter • Level 2 clustering algorithm from Run I: • Starts at lowest (η,φ) • Cluster location taken as seed tower position • Biases energy and cluster position at high luminosity η “Pac-Man” φ 2008 DOE review

7. Level 2 Calorimeter Upgrade • Studied jet trigger rates due to clustering algorithms for L2 upgrade proposal. • Wrote and commissioned L2 calorimeter and track trigger algorithms. 2008 DOE review

9. Physics Analysis • Historically motivated by interest in B0s decays and oscillations: • Same-side kaon tag • D+K± and D+sK± correlations • Observation of CP-even decay B0sJ/ψη • Search for BD*s0(2317)+X (undergraduate research) • High pT physics: • WZ/ZZ production using (with FNAL + Chicago) 2008 DOE review

10. Same-side kaon tag works very well. Why? Reconstruct D+s/D+φK+ High statistics Statistically isolate prompt component Measure K,π,p fractions in cone around D Compare with Pythia fragmentation models: no previous direct comparisons with data. D+K± and D+sK± correlations 2008 DOE review

11. D+K± and D+sK± correlations Observe significantly more D+sK- than D+sK+ or D+K±: Next: increased statistics, quantify systematics, direct comparison with Pythia string fragmentation model. 2008 DOE review

12. CP-Even decays B0sJ/ψη, J/ψη’ • Important physics: • Lifetime compared with impure CP final state • Other results: • No significant observations (at Belle, CLEO) • Branching ratios relative to J/ψφ • Pseudoscalar mixing angle, θP: • CP violation (via B0sJ/ψφ analysis) 2008 DOE review

13. CP-Even decays B0sJ/ψη, J/ψη’ • Challenging at CDF: • Low ET photons • Calorimeter alignment • Strip chamber response • Still, it can be done! • Blind search approach: • Expected yields in 1.3 fb-1 with cτ > 100 μm: • N(B0sJ/ψη, ηγγ) = 122-185 • N(N(B0sJ/ψη’, η’π+π-γ) = 55-41 • Expect a 3.5σ signal with 1.3 fb-1, plan to publish based on 2.7 fb-1  5σ significance. 2008 DOE review

15. Summary • Purdue has made important contributions to Level 1 and Level 2 trigger upgrades • Essential for efficient operation at high luminosity. • Responsible for Time-of-Flight hardware • On call experts, hardware maintenance, long term operational issues. • Heavy Flavor and high pT Physics Analysis • B0s physics and di-boson analysis • Many opportunities remain, but resources are being redirected for work on CMS. 2008 DOE review
