CDF Run II Status and prospects

TL;DR

This paper reviews early physics results from the CDF II detector at the Tevatron Collider during Run II, highlighting detector performance and initial findings from data collected between March 2001 and June 2002.

Contribution

It provides an overview of the initial physics results and detector performance during the early phase of Run II at the Tevatron.

Findings

High detector performance achieved early in Run II

Initial physics analyses underway with collected data

Progress towards understanding Tevatron collisions and particle interactions

Abstract

Run II at the Tevatron Collider started at the beginning of March 2001. With extensive upgrades on both detectors and electronics the CDF II began to collect data. This paper reviews early Run II physics results obtained by analyzing data collected before the middle of june 2002. At the present the understanding of the detector performances is rather high so many analysis are already underway.
