    Tevatron - Wikipedia

    • The Tevatron was a circular particle accelerator (active until 2011) in the United States, at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (called Fermilab), east of Batavia, Illinois, and was the highest energy particle collider until the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) was built near Geneva, Switzerland. Th… See more

    History

    December 1, 1968, saw the breaking of ground for the linear accelerator (linac). The construction of the Main Accelerator … See more

    Mechanics

    The acceleration occurred in a number of stages. The first stage was the 750 keV Cockcroft–Walton pre-accelerator, which ionized hydrogen gas and accelerated the negative ions created using a positive voltage. … See more

    Discoveries

    The Tevatron confirmed the existence of several subatomic particles that were predicted by theoretical particle physics, or gave suggestions to their existence. In 1995, the CDF experiment and DØ experiment collaborations … See more

    Disruptions due to earthquakes

    Even from thousands of miles away, earthquakes caused strong enough movements in the magnets to negatively affect the quality of particle beams and even disrupt them. Therefore, tiltmeters were install… See more
