摘要：A fast optical link (UKLight/StarLight) between UCL and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
(FNAL) in Chicago was established in 2004. It has been used by the CDF collaboration
to send data between the USA and the UK at rates in excess of 500 Mb/sec and forms part of the
CDF data-handling infrastructure. The issues involved in setting up the link and the CDF data
handling system are described. The distributed grid environment and the problems encountered
in establishing a data analysis environment utilising the link are also briefly described.
