 The findings were confirmed two days later as being correct with a likelihood of error less than 1 in a million by data from the LHC experiments.The Tevatron ceased operations on 30 September 2011, due to budget cuts and because of the completion of the LHC, which began operations in early 2010 and is far more powerful (planned energies were two 7 TeV beams at the LHC compared to 1 TeV at the Tevatron).The main ring of the Tevatron will probably be reused in future experiments, and its components may be transferred to other particle accelerators.
