A time-of-flight detector in CDF-II

A Time-of- Flight(TOF) detector, based on plastic scintillators and fine-mesh photomultipliers, has been added to the Collider Detectorat Fermilab(CDF)-II experiment at the Tevatronpp collider. The primary physics motivation is to provide charged kaon identification to improve neutral B mesonflavor determination. Besides that, the TOF detector found application in the CDF trigger system in implementation of highly ionizing particle, high multiplicity and cosmic rays triggers.
