“…While the Debuncher had a FODO lattice, the Accumulator lattice had particular features needed for cooling and accumulating antiprotons with stochastic cooling systems. A total of 21 independent stochastic cooling systems were implemented in the Accumulator and Debuncher [8]. Such a variety of cooling systems was possible after a series of development efforts [9,10] allowing for more robust and less expensive pickup arrays.…”

“…The unique contributions of the Fermilab facility were the development of very high bandwidth (4-8 GHz) pickups and kickers based on planar arrays and slotted waveguides, the utilization of free space (laser-driven) links between pickup and kicker, and the ability to vary the mixing factor as the operational demands required (36). The development of novel pickup and kicker technologies is described in (37,38).…”

For more than 25 years the Tevatron was the highest energy accelerator in the world, providing the first access to particle collisions beyond 1 TeV and achieving an ultimate performance a factor of four hundred beyond the original design goals. This article reviews the many formidable challenges that were overcome, and the knowledge gained, in building, operating, and improving the Tevatron over its lifetime. These challenges included: the first operations of an accelerator based on superconducting magnets, production of antiprotons in sufficient numbers to support a useable luminosity, management of beam-beam, intrabeam, and other collective effects, novel manipulations of the beam longitudinal phase space, and development and application of a wide variety of innovative technologies. These achievements established the legacy of the Tevatron as the progenitor of all subsequently constructed high energy hadron colliders.Comment: Submitted to Annual Reviews of Nuclear and Particle Scienc

“…The development of the systems at Fermilab have been ongoing since the early days of commissioning in 1985, and have greatly benefited from improvements of liquid He-cooled pickup and kickers, preamplifiers, power amplifiers and recursive notch filters, better signal transmission and equalizers. 24 Together with increased proton intensity on the target, better targetry, and electron cooling in the Recycler, that led to stacking rates of antiprotons in excess of 28×10 10 per hour (the world record, see Fig. 5), stacks in excess of 300×10 10 were accumulated in the Accumulator ring and 600 × 10 10 in the Recycler.…”

For almost a quarter of a century, the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider was the centerpiece of the world's high energy physics program -since it began operation in December of 1985, until it was overtaken by LHC in 2011. The aim of this unique scientific instrument was to explore the elementary particle physics reactions with center of mass collision energies of up to 1.96 TeV. The initial design luminosity of the Tevatron was 10 30 cm −2 s −1 , however as a result of two decades of upgrades, the accelerator has been able to deliver 430 times higher luminosities to each of two high luminosity experiments, CDF and D0. The Tevatron has been shut off since September 30, 2011. The collider was arguably one of the most complex research instruments ever to reach the operation stage and is widely recognized for many technological breakthroughs and numerous physics discoveries. In this paper, we briefly present the history of the Tevatron, major advances in accelerator physics, technology implemented during the long quest for better and better performance, and the lessons learned from our experience.
