TEVATRON I - ANT IPROTON/PROTON COLLIDING BEAM FACILITY 

 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fennllab) 

 U.S. Dept. of Energy 



"Big Science" Descriptor : High-energy physics 



Description of Facility/Instrument : The Tevatron I is an upgrade of 

 the Energy Saver to reach a 1000 GeV acceleration capability and 

 to allow the storage of protons and antlprotons simultaneously. 

 This will provide up to 2000 GeV in reaction energy when two 

 beams collide head-on, to open up a new era of Important research 

 opportunities at the highest energies ever made available for 

 laboratory physics experimentation. 



Date of Construction : 1981-1986 



Construction Cost : Original : $84.0 million 



1984 $$ : $85.5 million 



Present International Cooperation 



Natlonallty(s) of Ownership : U.S. 



Nationallty(s) of Operational Funding : U.S. 



Nationallty(s) of Management Staff : U.S. 



Nationallty(s) of Researchers : (See the Fermllab Proton Synchro- 

 tron for a list of International researchers and a discussion 

 of International cooperation.) 



In addition, R&D on the lithium lens system for the anti- 

 proton source represented a significant cooperative effort with 

 the U.S.S.R., and the Collider Detector Facility at Fermllab 

 represents an outstanding example of a joint effort with Japan 

 and Italy. 



Potential for Future International Cooperation : See the discussion 

 under the Fermllab Proton Synchrotron.
