Abstract

Precision tracking and vertex reconstruction play a crucial role in heavy flavor physics at CDF, in reconstructing the charm and beauty decay vertices in beauty and top events. A significant upgrade to the CDF detector, including a new silicon tracker, will support an extensive physics program with the high luminosity provided by the Main Injector accelerator upgrade. The specifications and design considerations for this new silicon tracker/vertex detector are discussed.
