Physics at Run II


A homepage for workshops in preparation for Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron.


Philosophy

The next physics run of the Tevatron in colliding mode is scheduled to begin in the year 2000. The Fermilab Theoretical Physics Department (in association with the two collider experiments CDF and D0) has decided to organize a series of workshops (thinkshops) which we hope will help maximize the potential of the Tevatron when it does turn on for Run II. Everyone is welcome to participate. At present we foresee five workshops to run between January 1998 and January 2000. Within each workshop there will be working groups organized jointly by two theoretical conveners and a contact person from each experiment. Although the overall structure will be provided by the theory group, the direction and scope of the individual working groups is the responsibility of the conveners and contact persons. For an example of the structure see the home page of the supersymmetry working group below. The starting dates and exact structure of the other working groups are still to be decided.

Workshops:


The yellow book road

The structure of the workshops will be loosely modeled on the Physics at LEP II workshop held at CERN and each workshop should result in a document (similar to the yellow books produced at CERN).
