Physics World : At its meeting yesterday, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) recommended that the US Department of Energy should fund a plan to extend the lifetime of Fermilab’s Tevatron proton–antiproton collider. The plan, devised by Fermilab’s director Pier Oddone, calls for an additional $35 million a year to fund the operation of the collider through 2014. In making its recommendation, the panel had to weigh the loss of funding to other particle physics experiments against the advantage of the Tevatron possibly detecting the Higgs boson ahead of its rival, the Large Hadron Collider.
