Abstract

Fermilab is in the midst of a program to raise the luminosity in the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider by at least a factor of five above the currently achieved level of 1.6×10³¹ cm^-2 sec^-1. Components of this program include the construction of a new synchrotron, the Main Injector, a new antiproton storage ring, the recycler, and a variety of improvements to the existing antiproton source and Tevatron. Commissioning of these components will be underway in early 1999 with the next Tevatron collider run scheduled to start in April 2000. Initial commissioning experience with these systems will be described, along with developments underway to support further Tevatron luminosity enhancements over the coming decade
