Abstract

Early last year, the outlook for the Tevatron at Fermilab in the US was bleak. The collider and its two detectors had just been upgraded to search for the Higgs boson and signs of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, but the Tevatron was struggling to reach its targets for “luminosity” in collisions between beams of protons and antiprotons. The ability of Fermilab to take advantage of its position at the high-energy frontier in particle physics for the best part of a decade while the Large Hadron Collider was being built at CERN was starting to look dubious.
