Farewell to the Tevatron
Roger L. Dixon (Fermilab)
TL;DR
This paper reflects on the history and significance of the Tevatron, the first superconducting synchrotron, which has recently ceased operation after 30 years of pioneering particle physics research.
Contribution
It provides a historical overview and analysis of the Tevatron's technological and scientific impact over its three-decade lifespan.
Findings
Tevatron was the world's first superconducting synchrotron.
It significantly advanced particle physics research.
The paper marks the end of an era in accelerator physics.
Abstract
Installation of the world's first superconducting synchrotron began at Fermilab 30 years ago, but now the Tevatron has finally seen its last beam. The author looks back at the intriguing story of this pioneering machine.
