Tevatron

The Tevatron was a particle accelerator located at Fermilab, near Batavia, Illinois, USA. It was the world's highest-energy particle collider from its commissioning in 1983 until the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) began operations in 2008. The Tevatron was a proton-antiproton collider, meaning it accelerated protons and antiprotons and collided them to produce high-energy interactions that allowed physicists to study the fundamental particles and forces of the universe.
