The Tevatron, the world's highest-energy proton-antiproton collider, shut down on Sept. 30, 2011. Since 1983, the United States's most powerful atom smasher has created particle collisions and provided particle beams to fixed target experiments and test beam areas. The Tevatron has informed some of the most important fundamental discoveries of our time, such as the existence of the top quark and five baryons, which helped to test and refine the Standard Model of particle physics and shape our understanding of matter, energy, space and time. The Tevatron research program also yielded countless achievements in detector, accelerator and computing technology. This timeline highlights some of the Tevatron's milestones.
