Abstract :
The Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider is nearing the completion of a long physics run at 1.8 TeV in the center-of-mass with a goal of delivering 100 pb-1 each to the CDF and D0 detectors. An 800 GeV fixed target run is scheduled to begin in 1996. Recent performance of the accelerator complex, culminating in the reliable delivery of integrated luminosity in excess of 2 pb-1 per week, is presented. The prospects for improving the delivery of integrated luminosity to a level in excess of 10 pb-1 per week for the next collider run, presently scheduled to begin with the completion of the Main Injector Project, will be presented. Finally, ideas related to extending the luminosity beyond the stated goals of the Main Injector, as well as possible alternate directions for the continuation of Fermilab´s successful accelerator R&D program, will be discussed
