I am doing research in Experimental High Energy Physics. I am
a member of the CDF Collaboration,
which operates the CDF detector (see picture).
The CDF detector is one of the two detectors for proton-antiproton
collisions at Fermilab. CDF's most
remarkable discovery was the joint observation of the
top quark in 1994-1995. Currently, Run II is in full speed (started
March 2001).
The CDF group at
University of Illinois was actively involved in the Run II
upgrade.
