The status of the TEVATRON
Description
The Fermilab Tevatron is a proton accelerator designed for research into the properties of fundamental forces and particles. The Tevatron is based upon a superconduction magnet ring 1 km in radius. It operates in two modes, both providing the highest energy particles in the world. In the fixed target mode, 800 GeV protons are extracted and distributed as primary, secondary or tertiary particles to fifteen experiments. In the collider mode, protons are brought in headon-collisions with antiprotons at a local energy of 1.8 TeV. The detectors and scientific goals are also briefly described. (orig.)
