Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF)

The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) is a sophisticated scientific instrument used to study high-energy particle collisions at Fermilab's Tevatron collider. When particles like protons and antiprotons are accelerated to near light-speed and smashed together, they create new particles and phenomena. The CDF detector surrounds the collision point, capturing data about these events through a series of advanced sensors. By analyzing this data, scientists learn about fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe, contributing to our understanding of physics beyond what we can observe in everyday life.
