The article explores particle physicists and their worries regarding where their next collider will be built. Particular focus is given to how this relates to the Linear Collider Board meet in Tokyo, Japan, on 7 March 2019, which will determine a decision on Japan's International Linear Collider. The cost of the machine is noted as is the discovery of the Higgs boson particle.

The article discusses a debate whether the U.S. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, should continue to run the Fermilab's 25-year-old atom smasher, the Tevatron collider, for another 3 years. The extension, which would end in 2014, would allow Fermilab researchers to challenge their European rivals in detecting the Higgs boson. Topics include an overview of Higgs boson research and the economic aspects of extending the Tevatron, such as the necessity of stalling other projects to pay for Tevatron's operation including Fermilab's research project NOvA that will begin studying neutrinos in 2013.

The article discusses nuclear physics research using the Tevatron collider at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab. As researchers there have not detected a nuclear particle called the Higgs boson, they want to operate the Tevatron for 3 additional years to allow them to do so. Fermilab co-spokesperson Dmitri Denisov is cited regarding plans to look for Higgs bosons in the range of 114 to 185 giga-electron volts.

The article discusses an announcement from officials at the European particle physics laboratory (CERN) that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will take longer to fix than previously expected. The world's highest energy particle smasher will not start up again before September 2009. This provides the Tevatron collider at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) with an opportunity to spot the Higgs boson, which is the last missing piece in the standard model of fundamental particles. Quotes are provided by University of Padua physicist Tommaso Dorigo and Fermilab's Rob Roser.

Focuses on experiments on Higgs boson, a spinless particle corresponding to energy field disturbances. Manifestation of the phenomena according to the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics; Indication of evidences on the size of Higgs boson; Use of colliders in the analysis of the particle.

The article discusses data from an atom smasher in the U.S., called the Tevatron, located at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, that hints at the detention of Higgs bosons, which are subatomic particles that hold the key to how all particles get their mass. Reportedly the hints correlate with those seen by researchers working with Europe's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Differences in data between the Tevatron and the LHC are discussed.

This article reports that researchers around the globe fear that if U.S. particle physics withers, so will the entire field. At the same time, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) asked physicists to consider which of two existing particle colliders they would rather shut down early to save money. Physicists got a shock in February, when DOE nixed BTeV, a $140 million experiment that would have run at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. Using beams from Fermilab's Tevatron collider, BTeV would have studied bottom quarks, heavier, unstable cousins of the down quarks found in protons and neutrons. BTeV researchers were expecting to get the final go-ahead for construction. Meanwhile, researchers in Europe are assembling the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. Scheduled to start up in 2007, the $7.7 billion machine might produce the long-sought Higgs boson, the particle thought to give others their mass. But particle physicists from Europe and Asia aren't celebrating the passing of the torch from the United States.
