What's next for the Fermilab?

One of the Fermilab's projects arrives knows when will be its last day: the Tevatron. This is the second biggest collider that the human beings build, and has been the the first one during many years before the start up of the LHC.

The machine was completed in 1983 being a collider of two beams of 512GeV, resulting collisions of about 1TeV (this is the reason of its name). An upgrade (I think in 1994, but I'm not completely sure) allows to have both beams close to 1TeV (meaning that the collisions are about 2Tev).

Many data has been collected with this machine and specially its bigger detectors: CDF and DØ. But meny more experiments are running in the Fermilab.

This news about close this project can be feel only like a budget cut, but I hope this is like the day that the LEP was closed. I hope this will mean a push on the ILC project.
