The Tevatron particle accelerator, once the crown jewel of the Fermi National Accelerator Lab, powered down last Friday, September 30 after 28 years of operation. Fermi had to shut down the ...

In scientific pursuits, like the search for dark matter, researchers sometimes use high-power particle accelerators. But these giant machines are extremely expensive and only a handful of them exist, ...

After 10 years of careful analysis and scrutiny, scientists of the CDF collaboration at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today that they have achieved ...

Researchers at Fermilab, who run the Tevatron particle accelerator, say they’ve discovered a new particle “anomaly,” leading people to think they may have uncovered a new elementary particle or new ...

Newly released observations of the top quark -- the heaviest of all known fundamental particles -- could topple the standard model of particle physics. Data from collisions at the Tevatron particle ...
