  1. Top and Electroweak Results from CDF Igor Volobouev LBNL for the CDF Collaboration

  2. Top / Electroweak Program • Measurement of fundamental parameters • Calibration (e.g., MZ ) • Precision measurements of Mtop, MW, Vtb, etc. • Tests of Standard Model predictions • Cross sections, branching fractions, kinematical distributions, lepton universality • Top quark properties: unique to CDF/D0 • Searches for new phenomena • Higgs • Anomalous couplings, new particles and resonances, rare and forbidden decays • Discovery potential exists in all areas

  3. =1 TOF =2 =3 CDF Run 2 Upgrade • Improved Si coverage • |h| < 2 • up to 8 layers • New central tracker • 96 layers • Time of Flight • Expanded muon system • Forward calorimeter • Trigger and electronics h = -ln(tan(/2))

  11. Main question: is top quark adequately described by the Standard Model? Run 2 results so far: Cross section Top mass Many precision tests of top to come with more data SM: tt production cross section at 1.96 TeV is 30% larger than at 1.8 TeV Top spin polarization Production Cross Section Resonance production ? Production kinematics Top Quark Measurements

  16. Lepton + jets channel: Run 1 CDF result was 176.1 ± 6.6 GeV/c2 Statistical error is mainly due to jet combinatorics. Mtop with b tags will be presented at the summer conferences. Systematic errors will dominate the uncertainty Jet energy reconstruction MC top decay modeling Background Top Quark Mass 33 events

  17. Electroweak Drell-Yan at high mass (PDFs, new physics) W charge asymmetry Direct W width pp WZ, ZZ, trilinear couplings MW with 40 MeV/c2 precision (400 pb-1 are needed if 1/L scaling holds) Top Analysis of production and decay kinematics Resonant production W helicity Spin correlations Single top production Vtb Rare and forbidden decays Mt with 3 GeV/c2 precision Future Run 2 Measurements Many of these measurements are already in the works

  18. Higgs Constraint Current SM Higgs fit: MH = 81+52–33 GeV LEP 2 direct search limit: MH > 114.4 GeV at 95% CL

  19. Summary • A variety of Run 1 results have been reestablished • We are confident that CDF components are working as expected and the system integration was a success • Our understanding of the CDF detector is improving. We have already developed many building blocks needed for taking on really challenging physics problems. • So far, top and electroweak results are consistent with the Standard Model predictions • Most measurements are statistics limited, and will benefit from larger datasets • Expect many new and improved Run 2 results this summer and during the next few years

  24. Weekly Delivered Luminosity

  25. Downtime and Deadtime • Downtime – much better when we keep taking data… • HV Trips (COT, Silicon, muon, etc.) (not so often these days) • L3/EVB/CSL/L2, etc. (comes/goes in wave. Right now, it is good) • HRRs (bunch counter errors, TDC done timeout, etc.) • Trigger table tests, 2 SRC tests, XFT tests… (future investment) • Startup time, waiting to bring up HV at beginning of the store • Silicon D-mode calibration and other odds and ends • Downtime due to operator errors are very small • Dead time – much easier when lumi is low and trigger rates low, but… • L1/L2 busy dead time (much work in progress, eg. 2SRC readout) • Hitting CSL output limit -- design 20Mb/sec. This current problem should be solved by: • Tightening (wisely) trigger filters, limiting L3 output rates • Dropping L3 reconstruction banks and other diagnostic banks • Compressing silicon/COT raw data banks, etc. • However, at the same time, we are also reviewing/studying the possibility/consequence of extending the current CSL 20Mb/sec limit
