XFT: The eXtremely Fast Tracker Purpose: Part of the CDF Level 1 trigger. Finds high momentum charged tracks in time for the Level 1 trigger decision. For more information on this device, look here. CDF: The Collider Detector at Fermilab. A ~5000 ton detector used to study proton-antiproton collision at the world's highest energy collider, the Fermilab Tevatron. For more information on CDF, look here. Upgrade: The XFT is installed and working well. Why upgrade? The Tevatron plans to increase the luminosity (how often it collides the protons and anti-protons) to a level (3 times the design!) at which the current XFT will have difficulty working. Personnel: The groups presently involved in the upgrade include:
