The CDF Detector at Fermilab.

Laboratory: FNAL

Accelerator: Tevatron

The IPP CDF effort has been funded since 1991 to support participation in the ongoing data collection and physics analysis. The results from CDF over the past two decades have been spectacular: the collaboration has discovered the top quark and made high-precision measurements of its properties, it has made substantial improvements in measurements of the properties of the electroweak interactions, and is pursuing a strong program in b quark physics and searches for the Higgs boson and other new physics. The IPP group has been responsible for jet energy scale calibration, coordination of tracking, and offline data processing and monte-carlo production.

The IPP effort currently involves 5 physicists and 4 graduate students. The group plans to continue physics data-taking and analysis at least to the end of 2011.
