【 摘 要 】

The SVX II detector, a major component in the upgrade of the CDF Detector for Run II, is located very near to the beam interaction point and will be subjected to high fluences of hadrons and leptons from the proton-antiproton collisions that will take place at the vertex. The SVX II detector is being constructed in 5 layers with each layer equipped with cooling loops. A water-ethylene glycol mixture will be circulated through these cooling loops in order to remove heat from the detector. In response to a request by CDF, a calculation of the concentrations of radioactivity that will be produced in this cooling medium has been performed and is described in this note.
