Abstract
The CDF-II experiment is a multipurpose detector designed to study a wide range of processes observed in the high energy proton–antiproton collisions produced by the Fermilab Tevatron. With event rates greater than 1 MHz, the CDF-II trigger system is crucial for selecting interesting events for subsequent analysis. This document provides an overview of the Track Extrapolation System (XTRP), a component of the CDF-II trigger system. The XTRP is a fully digital system that is utilized in the track-based selection of high momentum lepton and heavy flavor signatures. The design of the XTRP system includes five different custom boards utilizing discrete and FPGA technology residing in a single VME crate. We describe the design, construction, commissioning and operation of this system.
