High-Energy Particle Collision Experiments at Fermilab

The CDF and D0 experimental collaborations at Fermilab's Tevatron Accelerator are dedicated to studying high-energy particle collisions to discover the universe's particles and understand their properties and interactions. The MINOS experiment observes neutrino oscillations, with a long baseline from Fermilab to a detector in Soudan, Minnesota.

  1. Experiments Using SAM-Grid CDF, D0, MINOS

  2. Far Detector Near Detector MINOS The Tevatron Accelerator at Fermilab

  3. CDF The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experimental collaboration is committed to studying high energy particle collisions at the world’s highest energy particle accelerator. 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.

  4. CDF • Detector • 1,000,000 channels • Event Size 150 KB • Event Rate 50 Hz (170 Hz in 2005) • So far ~1 PB of Data • Expect overall 10-20 PB • This means the CDF • Move 10s TB / day • Process PBs / year • Has 35% remote computing

  5. CDF Institutions : Total 53 Russia - 2 Germany – 1 Switzerland – 1 United Kingdom – 4 Italy – 7 Spain - 1 Korea - 1 Japan - 5 Taiwan - 1 Canada - 2 USA - 28

  6. D0 The DØ Experiment consists of a worldwide collaboration of scientists conducting research on the fundamental nature of matter. The experiment is located at the world's premier high-energy accelerator, the Tevatron Collider, at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, USA. The research is focused on precise studies of interactions of protons and antiprotons at the highest available energies. It involves an intense search for subatomic clues that reveal the character of the building blocks of the universe. 3D event display of a high ET jet event The highest energy event in one of the D0 supersymmetry searches

  7. D0 • Detector • 1,000,000 Channels • Event size 250KB • Event rate ~50 Hz • So far 0.75 PB of data • Past year overall 0.5 PB • Expect overall 10 – 20 PB • This means that D0 • Move 10s TB / day • Process PBs / year • Has 25% – 50% remote computing

  9. MINOS MINOS Mural Project Detector at Soudan The Main Injector, at Fermilab, will serve as the neutrino source for the MINOS experiment which seeks to observe the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations. The experiment’s long baseline will begin at Fermilab, and end deep in a former iron mine (800 meters) in Soudan, a village in northern Minnesota, where MINOS will place its neutrino detector – 735 kilometers, or about 450 miles, from the source.

  10. MINOS • So far about 2TB of data • Past year overall 0.7 TB • Expect overall 0.3 PB in 5 years Side View of Detector Cosmic Ray path in Near Detector Front of Detector
