Booster Neutrino Experiment (BooNE)

Physics; Particle physics

A proposed experiment to be based at Fermilab. It is the expanded version of the Mini-BooNE experiment, which is currently under construction.

BTeV

Physics; Particle physics

A proposed experiment to take place at the Fermilab Tevatron. It would study B-Meson decay in detail.

Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF)

Physics; Particle physics

This is one of the two large multi-purpose experiments located at the Fermilab Tevatron. Along with D0, it discovered the top quark in 1995.
