CDF: COLLIDER DETECTOR AT FERMILAB

CDF (Collider Detector at Fermilab) is an experiment conducted at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (near Chicago, USA) studying the collision of protons and anti-protons at a center of mass energy of 2 TeV. The experiment has been collecting data in two main phases (CDF-I and CDF-II) since the mid 80's and completed the data taking in September 2011, listing amongst its successes the discovery of the top quark in 1995.
