Historic Results Experimental physicists at Fermilab are constantly at work systematically building our understanding of the laws of nature. The following are some of the hallmark discoveries they have made at the three frontiers of research in particle physics. Discovery of the Top Quark Physicists observed the first proton-antiproton collisions produced by the Tevatron on …
