The Fermilab Tevatron

This chapter discusses the Fermilab Tevatron Project, which consists of the following 3 phases: Phase 0 (Saver)superconducting magnet ring, minimal refrigeration and rf; Phase I (TEV 1)- colliding beams, additional refrigeration and rf; and Phase II (TEV 2)- beam extraction and switchyard modifications; experimental areas and beam modifications and additions. Gives a description and status report of the Tevatron Project by priority groups designed to: 1) resolve all technological problems of a superconducting magnet synchrotron and demonstrate capability by accelerating a beam; 2) provide capability and facility for doing fixed target physics; and 3) provide capability and facility for doing colliding beam physics. The goal of the project is to provide the first superconducting magnet synchrotron, the first 1 TeV beam, and the first 2 TeV colliding beams
