Abstract

Fermilab has embarked upon a program, Fermilab III, to raise the luminosity in the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider over a five-year period by at least a factor of 30 beyond the currently achieved level of 1.6*10/sup 30/ cm/sup -2/ s/sup -1/. Components of the program include implementation of electrostatic separators, antiproton source improvements, installation of cold compressors, doubling the existing linac output energy, and the construction of a new accelerator, the Fermilab Main Injector. Basic limitations in the achievement of higher luminosity in the Tevatron, the strategy developed to achieve the Fermilab III goals, and the evolution of luminosity throughout the period are discussed.<>
