Science : An independent committee of researchers has recommended that Fermilab’s 25-year-old Tevatron particle collider keep running through 2014, rather than shut down in September 2011 as planned. Fermilab is the only US lab that stands a chance of beating its European rival, CERN’s newer Large Hadron Collider , to the discovery of the Higgs boson , the most coveted particle in high-energy physics. Fermilab’s director, Pier Oddone, however, is concerned that the lab’s other projects may be delayed without additional funding from the Department of Energy.
