Tevatron status

Since Tevatron commissioning in July 1983, the accelerator has operated in 1984, 1985, and 1987 with extracted beams of 800 GeV for three runs of fixed target physics, and in 1987 and 1988 with proton-antiproton colliding beams at 900*900 GeV. The collider operation of the Tevatron; its present status, and the outlook for its long-term future evolution are reviewed. >
