| • | The
Tevatron was the world’s first superconducting accelerator. |
|||||||||||||
| • | It
accepts protons AND pbars at 150 GeV from the Main Injector. |
|||||||||||||
| Typically: |
||||||||||||||
| – | 36 proton bunches with 180E9 protons in each. (Run IIa goal: 270E9) |
|||||||||||||
| – | 36 pbar bunches with 12E9 pbars in each. (Run IIa goal: 33E9) |
|||||||||||||
| • | These
are accelerated to 980 GeV. |
|||||||||||||
| • | Collisions
(“low beta”) are initiated at the B0 (CDF) and D0 |
|||||||||||||
| detector
regions. |
||||||||||||||
| • | These
“stores” are kept for typically 16 hours,
while more |
|||||||||||||
| antiprotons
are made for the next “shot”. |
