The Tevatron's data continue to excite

The beams of Fermilab’s Tevatron were shut off for the last time in 2011. Nevertheless, the analysis of data collected during ten years of proton-antiproton running continues to provide new results. Since then the CDF and DØ experiments have found evidence for the production and decay of a Higgs boson with a mass of around 125 GeV. They also have measured the masses of the top quark and the W boson and studied rare decays of B mesons, all with ever increasing precision. Meanwhile, some remaining puzzles guarantee that exciting physics from the Tevatron will continue.
