The CMX is still in the process of being upgraded and tested, but the CSP has been upgraded and is more effective in detecting muons. 1 Introduction Muons are subatomic particles, which can be produced in the course of collisions of energetic subatomic particles and are also present in cosmic rays.
Muons can and do travel through just about any and everything.
Therefore, muons are usually the last particles detected in a detector. Our detector is called the Collider Detector Facility, or CDF for short. CDF depends on the Tevatron. The Tevatron, which is the biggest particle accelerator in the world, accelerates protons and antiprotons clockwise and counterclockwise to high energies. The protons and antiprotons are smashed together inside the CDF detector to produce a shower of particles, which can be detected by the detector.
