The Last Days of the Tevatron

The press has been commenting on the imminent shutoff of the Tevatron.

Nature; DeKalb Daily Chronicle, National Public Radio.

Here's a Tevatron timeline and Fermilab's plans for the future.

Here's a rundown of notable physics results from the Tevatron's years of operation (but I'm sorry to see the tau neutrino omitted from this list).

I understand the U.S. House of Representatives Science, Space and Technology Committee will visit Fermilab next Wednesday and hear testimony.

Which would you rather have: a nice shiny anisble, or Causality?

You're just itching to post your book reviews to the Net of a Million Lies, aren't you?

(But if Causality is gone, maybe everyone's already read them.)

Pfft. Causality. What has causality ever done for you?
