The hunt for the top quark at Fermilab was heating up in 1994 when scientist Mike Albrow and his colleagues on the CDF experiment felt they were close to cornering the last, undiscovered member of the quark family. Albrow tells the story leading to the discovery of the particle by CDF and DZero.
The occasion of our 700th paper encourages us to reflect on the past 37 years of the collaboration.
Chiarelli has been with CDF since the beginning of the experiment, 35 years ago.
One of the stalwarts of the Tevatron Collider era, Giorgio Bellettini will give a colloquium on the history of the CDF experiment and the contributions of Italian physicists to CDF’s extremely successful scientific adventure.
You can find this at the Heavy Assembly Building, adjacent to the IARC Office, Technical and Education Building.
Good news: there is a theory to describe the strong interaction, the interactions that bind the constituents of protons and neutrons together and create the strong force. Bad news: Calculations using the theory can be made in only a limited selection of natural phenomena.
The reunion was a chance not only to talk about the Tevatron’s achievements, but also to present new results from the full data set.
Researchers found four new particles made of the same four building blocks.
CDF has updated their indirect determination of the W boson mass using all of their Tevatron Run II data samples.
David Toback’s drive and dedication to CDF recently earned him a second, two-year term as the experiment’s co-spokesperson.
