The Intermediate Silicon Layers detector (ISL) was proposed as a part of the upgraded CDF detector at the RUN-II of the Tevatron p (p) over bar Collider at Fermilab, scheduled to start in year 2000. The ISL is a large-radius (20-30 cm) silicon tracker with a total active area of about 3.5 m(2). Located in the region between the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVX II) and the Central Outer Tracker, the ISL will allow tracking in the forward region and significantly improve it in the central area. Together with the SVX II the ISL forms a standalone, 3D silicon tracker.

Abstract
The Intermediate Silicon Layers detector (ISL) was proposed as a part of the upgraded CDF detector at the RUN-II of the Tevatron p (p) over bar Collider at Fermilab, scheduled to start in year 2000. The ISL is a large-radius (20-30 cm) silicon tracker with a total active area of about 3.5 m(2). Located in the region between the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVX II) and the Central Outer Tracker, the ISL will allow tracking in the forward region and significantly improve it in the central area. Together with the SVX II the ISL forms a standalone, 3D silicon tracker. The challenge is to build a low-cost device which provides precise 3D tracking in a approximate to 2m long area with a minimal amount of material for the supporting structure. The conceptual design and the status of the project are reviewed.Pubblicazioni consigliate
