The Last Days of the Tevatron

[beamjockey]

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.

And your take on FTL neutrios?

Love the comments on this post. :-)

And that's the perfect icon, too!

Must be frustrating for them to have evidence of something they don't believe is happening, that they can't make disappear (within accepted norms of behavior, I mean).

Which shouldn't overshadow the Tevatron shutdown. It seems premature to me, but that was fought out long ago, and they decided to stop supporting it.

And, how does this affect you? Job, and all?
