The Heart of the Detector

In the center of the detector, you can see the Central Outer Tracker, as well as some of the various calorimeters.

 

The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experimental collaboration is committed to studying high energy particle collisions at the world’s highest energy proton-antiproton collider. The goal is to discover the identity and properties of the particles that make up the universe and to understand the forces and interactions between those particles.

 

Even after shutdown, its data will still be analyzed for years to come.
