“…The ToF system has a resolution of approximately 110 ps [17] that corresponds to a separation of 0.6σ between pions and kaons at p = 3 GeV/c. Both the ToF and dE/dx measurements are important in determining the particle fractions in the analysis of the misidentified-muon background discussed in Sec.…”

Study of multi-muon events produced in $p\bar{p}$ interactions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV

“…The data sample is defined by events containing two central (|η| < 0.7) muons, each with transverse momentum p T ≥ 3 GeV/c, and with invariant mass larger than 5 GeV/c 2 . The determination of the data sample composition relies upon the high precision charged particle tracking provided by the CDF II detector [8][9][10][11][12]. Accurate track impact parameter 1 and primary event vertex determinations are provided by a large central drift chamber surrounding a trio of silicon tracking devices collectively referred to in this letter as the "SVX".…”

Observation of Orbitally ExcitedBsMesons

“…Hadron identification is crucial for distinguishing kaons originating from B s decays from other particles. It is provided by a combination of the ionization energy loss in the COT and a measurement by a time-of-flight system [12].…”
