Fermi: Name of a particle physics lab outside Chicage.
Tevatron: Name of the circular particle accelerator that is the centerpiece of Fermia Lab. Named Tevatron because it was the first particle accelerator to generate over 1 trillion electron volts and was the most powerful accelerator until the LHC went online.
LHC: Large Hadron Collidor. Name of the largest particle accelerator in the world on the Swiss-French border. It has a 17 mile circumference.
Higgs Boson: The particle that gives matter mass; predicted by the Standard Theory of particle physics but not yet discovered in experiments.

Tevatron: .... because it was the first particle accelerator to generate over 1 trillion electron volts...

So we have a Tevabudget deficit?............

Get back to me when they find Obama’s birth certificate.

Thanks for the definitions!
What does this mean in practical terms - "Give matter mass?"

I'm still bewildered they discovered a particle can be two place at once.

BTW...The super conducting super collider WAS to be built in the US but bill klinton vetoed it. Welcome to the third world. Stupid serfs easier for the “chosen few” to dominate.

Why is the Tevatron being retired? It is the second most powerful particle accelerator in the world. WTF!
