An overview of more than 25 years of the Tevatron Collider program at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, near Chicago, Illinois, USA, is presented. The physics goals of the program itself, the Tevatron accelerator design…
Fermilab operates the world's most intense antiproton source. Newly proposed experiments can use those antiprotons either parasitically during Tevatron Collider running or after the Tevatron Collider finishes in about 2010. In particular,…
The top-quark mass M_top is measured using top quark-antiquark pairs produced in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV and decaying into a fully hadronic final state. The full data set collected with the CDFII…
In Run II at the Tevatron, the major goal of the upgraded CDF and \dzero detectors is a Higgs search in the mass range of 110-200 GeV. They will also contribute significantly to B physics. Among many possibilities they will be able to…

The CERN LHC delivered 25/fb of proton-proton collision data in 2011-2012 at sqrt{s} = 7 - 8 TeV centre-of-mass energy to the ATLAS detector. These Run 1 data were used to discover the Higgs boson and measure its properties as well as to…
The DO and CDF experiments have measured prompt photon production using Run II data taken at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s) of 1.96 TeV. The results are compared to different types of perturbative QCD calculations.
We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and DO experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run I (1992--1996) measurements with the most precise published and preliminary Run II (2001-present) measurements using up to…
The ATLAS detector is installed in its experimental cavern at Point 1 of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. During Run 2 of the LHC, a luminosity of $\mathcal{L}=2\times 10^{34}\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ was routinely achieved at the…
