1 Grad Student Welcome Columbia - Sep 2001 1 The DØ Experiment at Fermilab Fermilab Tevatron near Chicago  p  collisions at  s ~ 2 TeV  ~4 miles circumference  >1000 supercond. magnets  New run began Mar 2001  World’s highest E accel. The DØ Experiment  ~500 phys. – 17 countries  Large: ~10m x 10m x 10m  Complex Detector  silicon, scint. fibers, superconducting solenoid, liquid argon…  ~10 6 electronics channels  Currently taking Data !

2 Grad Student Welcome Columbia - Sep 2001 2 DØ at Columbia We build interesting things  Calorimeter Electronics  analog pipelines  signal shaping  Muon Trigger (L2)  digital signal processors  field program. gate arrays  real time algorithms  Silicon Tracking Trigger (L2)  pioneering project  reconstruction of tracks in real time  Future Projects  calorimeter trigger? … To answer basic questions  Why is there more matter than antimatter?  CP violation in the B system  Why do particles have mass?  Higgs discovery  How is Electro-Weak symmetry broken?  Higgs, top, precision meas…  What is beyond the standard model?  SUSY, technicolor, string theories…
