  1. Fermi National Lab., Batavia, IL (United States)
The Fermilab Tevatron is the highest energy particle collider in the world today. It will retain this position until the initial operation of either the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in the US or the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe around the year 2000. At present in the Tevatron countercirculating proton and antiproton beams are brought into collision at 1,800 GeV in the center-of-mass with a typical initial luminosity of 1.6 {times} 10{sup 30} cm{sup {minus}2}s{sup {minus}1}. Averaged over a multi-month running period typical initial luminosity translates into integrated luminosity with about a 33% duty factor. The authors will examine here the possible ultimate performance of the Tevatron collider. They limit themselves here to consideration of beam energies of 1 TeV. In addition they will constrain their considerations to scenarios in which the number of interactions per crossing is <10.
