Abstract :
The silicon detector system of the CDF-II experiment at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has been operated successfully since the start of Tevatron Run II in 2001. In this article we summarize the experience gained with the silicon detector system, focusing on automation and aging effects of detector components during the years 2006–2008. In addition, we present the most recent updates on studies of single event upsets and radiation damage to the silicon sensors.
