The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) is a general purpose detector used to study the world`s highest energy p{anti p} collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. Upgrades to CDF to enable it to function as the Tevatron evolves are described. The upgrade plans are to: (1) Replace the plug and forward gas calorimeters with new scintillator-based calorimeters. (2) Replace the Central Tracking Chamber with a new device with shorter drift distance (Central Outer Tracker). (3) Replace the silicon vertex detector with a longer double-sided device with faster readout. (4) Add a new Intermediate Forward Tracker between the silicon vertex detector and …

Description
The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) is a general purpose detector used to study the world`s highest energy p{anti p} collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. Upgrades to CDF to enable it to function as the Tevatron evolves are described. The upgrade plans are to: (1) Replace the plug and forward gas calorimeters with new scintillator-based calorimeters. (2) Replace the Central Tracking Chamber with a new device with shorter drift distance (Central Outer Tracker). (3) Replace the silicon vertex detector with a longer double-sided device with faster readout. (4) Add a new Intermediate Forward Tracker between the silicon vertex detector and the Central Outer Tracker to enhance pattern recognition capability at high luminosities and to provide tracking in the region 1.0 {le} {vert_bar}{eta}{vert_bar} {le} 2.0. (5) Upgrade the front-end electronics, trigger and data acquisition systems to accommodate data collection with shorter bunch spacing and higher rates.
