Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, home of the Tevatron, is located in Batavia, Illinois, outside Chicago.
The Future of Fermilab
Despite shutting down the Tevatron, Fermilab will continue to study subatomic particles, including the massive amounts of data the Tevatron has amassed for years to come.
Main Control Room
Guests were invited to watch the proceedings from the Main Control Room.
Only One of the Seven Accelerators Was Shut Off
The Tevatron is only one of seven accelerators at Fermilab. The remaining six will remain operational.
The Off Button
The particle beam was shut down first, followed by the ramp.
Accelerator Tech
The Tevatron was key in driving accelerator tech, now a commercial industry.
The Flags of Fermilab
The flags that represent the nations conducting research at the lab fly in front of Fermilab.
The Antiproton Source
The Tevatron smashes protons and antiprotons to search for new particles that result from the collision.
Aluminum Foil at the Antiproton Source
Aluminum foil at the antiproton source. Physics seriously can't happen without this stuff.
