In 2000, the CDF group at UC Davis completed the design and testing of 10 different "gang cards" and a high density interconnect cable (HDI) for the Intermediate Silicon Detector (ISL) Run II upgrade at the Collider Detector at Fermilab (DCDF). The gang cards couple the readout of two ISL letters onto one HDI cable. The HDI then connects to the DAQ system. These components that were produced by UC Davis are now installed in the CDF Detector.



For more information on ISL, see chapter 6 of the CDF II Detector Technical Design Review here.
