CDF Experiment

The CDF (Collider Detector at Fermilab) experiment was a large scientific project that studied tiny particles by colliding high-energy protons and antiprotons at Fermilab's Tevatron accelerator. Its goal was to understand fundamental particles and forces, such as discovering the top quark and exploring the nature of matter. Using a sophisticated detector, CDF captured data from these collisions, helping physicists test and refine the Standard Model of particle physics. It advanced our knowledge of the universe’s basic building blocks and their interactions, contributing significantly to modern physics.
