The Tevatron collider led the World energy frontier program in particle physics during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. During this exciting period the standard model of particle physics was in its final stages of development and the search for physics beyond the standard model became one of the main research topics. In this review article we summarize the design and performance of the Tevatron collider and its two detectors, CDF and D0, as well as their evolution. Highlights of the Tevatron scientific results are provided, including the discovery of the top quark and measurements of its properties, studies and discoveries of the particles containing heavy quarks, precision studies of the strong and electroweak forces, searches for beyond the standard model particles and interactions, as well as the hunt for the Higgs boson.
在20世纪末和21世纪初，Tevatron对撞机引领了粒子物理学领域的世界能量前沿项目。在这个令人兴奋的时期，粒子物理学的标准模型正处于发展的最后阶段，寻找超越标准模型的物理学成为了主要研究课题之一。在这篇综述文章中，我们总结了Tevatron对撞机及其两个探测器CDF和D0的设计与性能，以及它们的发展历程。文中还介绍了Tevatron的科学成果亮点，包括顶夸克的发现及其性质的测量、含重夸克粒子的研究与发现、强相互作用和电弱相互作用的精确研究、对超越标准模型粒子和相互作用的搜寻，以及对希格斯玻色子的寻找。
