Abstract :
The 8 layer, 722 K channel CDF Run II silicon detector is an essential part of the heavy flavor tagging and forward tracking capabilities of the CDF experiment. A summary of the experience in commissioning and operating this double-sided silicon detector during the first two years of Run II is given. Results from offline reconstruction showing the detector resolution and efficiency as well as the impact of the silicon detector on the physics program of the experiment are presented.
