Experiments at the Energy Frontier

Project Status: Operating

Tevatron
Fermilab, Batavia, IL

The world's largest operating proton accelerator, the Tevatron, resides at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. The Tevatron collides protons and antiprotons in an underground ring, four miles in circumference at an energy of two trillion electron volts.

CDF

The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) is an experimental collaboration committed to studying high energy particle collisions at the world’s highest energy operating particle accelerator, the Tevatron. The goal is to discover the identity and properties of the particles that make up the universe and to understand the forces and interactions between those particles.

DZero

The DZero experiment consists of a worldwide collaboration of scientists conducting research on the fundamental nature of matter. The experiment is located at the world's premier high-energy accelerator, the Tevatron, at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. The research focuses on precise studies of interactions of protons and antiprotons at the highest available energies. It involves an intense search for subatomic clues that reveal the character of the building blocks of the universe.
