Title: Tevatron I: energy saver and /sup -/P source

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6076239

The aim of the Tevatron I project is the construction of a proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab. The design goals of the collider are a center of mass energy of 2 TeV and a luminosity of greater than 10/sup 30//cm/sup 2//sec. The collider will be utilized by two large experiments located in the long straight sections BO (the CDF detector) and DO; and by three specialized experiments at CO, EO and FO. The first operation for colliding beam physics is scheduled for 1986. The Tevatron I project encompasses a host of accelerator systems in the Main Ring and Energy Saver, as well as the Antiproton Source, which is the complex in which the /sup -/p's are made, collected and stored. At the time of this writing, the construction and installation phases of the project are essentially complete, and the commissioning phase has recently begun. In this report, no attempt will be made to discuss the design of each subsystem, since this information has been extensively documented elsehwere. A brief overview of the project will be presented for orientation; then, the present status of each system will be reported, in the order in which they will be required to operate for colliding beams. At the conclusion, the goals for completion of the commissioning of the project will be discussed.
