Question about the shutdown of Tevatron last month at Fermilab National Lab

AI Thread Summary
The Tevatron at Fermilab National Laboratory was shut down on September 30, 2011, leading to a shift in particle research primarily to CERN. This closure raises concerns for those seeking internships in high energy physics at Fermilab, as opportunities may be limited. There is skepticism about the likelihood of being sent to CERN for internships. One participant in the discussion has already reached out to Fermilab for clarification but is awaiting a response. The urgency of completing internship applications is emphasized, highlighting the need for timely information regarding available opportunities.

The tevatron was shut september 30, 2011 at Fermilab National Laboratory. Basically the particle research is now done in CERN instead. This is bad news because I was planning to do an internship there for high energy physics.

Does this mean that I shouldn't be applying for high energy physics in Fermilab National Laboratory? I greatly doubt they will fly you to CERN for an internship. If someone can please shed some light on this it would be appreciated.

Yes, I already have actually [I left a message] but I believe they won't be there till Monday. I just posted this topic because I'm in a rush to finish my application, but I'll see soon I guess.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
