Tevatron: Day of Doom
Sep. 30th, 2011 09:00 amThe final store is now circulating in the Tevatron. At breakfast, it was just below 100E30 luminosity units (per square centimeter per second).
The Tevatron's final crew is on shift. It will be a long day for them; after the 2 PM ceremony, after the officials and camera crews and Tevatron designers have left the Main Control Room for the party, the crew will be putting the Tevatron into standby, as well as continuing to operate other accelerators.
Picnic tents are up in the Horseshoe. TV cameras are in place in Ramsey Auditorium and the MCR. Lighting has been adjusted and links have been tested. An absurdly large TV has been placed in the MCR, so that the people there may see people speaking on the Auditorium stage.
Fermilab endures. Here are plans for the future.

About the shutdown process.
The original 1979 plan: A Report on the Design of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Superconducting Accelerator. Dr. Helen Edwards, one of its co-authors, will be performing the shutdown.
