• Run 2 results so far: Cross section Top mass

• Many precision tests of top to come with more data

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

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
