"The record-breaking performance of the Tevatron collider at the
Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is
pushing the search for dark matter, supersymmetric particles and extra
dimensions to new limits. Repeatedly smashing peak luminosity records,
the Tevatron has created record numbers of proton-antiproton collisions
that provide the means to unveil the secrets of the universe.
Accelerator experts at the lab announced today (March 2) that in only
14 months the Tevatron collider has produced almost five times the data
sample collected during four years of Collider Run I (1992-1996), which
led to the discovery of the top quark at Fermilab."
"Between December 2004 and February 2006, the average peak luminosity
of the Tevatron collider doubled from 7x1031 cm-2sec-1 to 14x1031
cm-2sec-1."
