Definitions for "Tevatron"
The largest of the underground accelerators at Fermilab. It is the main circular feature seen in photographs.
The 2 TeV proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab, currently the world's highest-energy accelerator. At the Tevatron, two large general purpose detectors, CDF ( www-cdf.fnal.gov) and D0 ( www-d0.fnal.gov), are studying the particles of the standard model and looking for new physics beyond it. CDF and D0 discovered the top quark.
A 2 TeV proton on anti-proton collider that operates at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. The top quark was discovered using this accelerator.
