Physics at. sqrt. (s) = 2TeV: An experimentalist's perspective

This article is based on a series of 5 lectures delivered at the Mexican School. It is intended as an introduction to the physics expected at the Fermilab anti p p collider, the Tevatron, and as such relies heavily on its extrapolative power on physics done at lower energies at the CERN ISR and s anti p ps. The lectures were delivered to graduate students and, where possible, the author has attempted to give derivations of the basic formulae. The lectures deal with minimum bias physics, QCD jets, W/Z production, Heavy Flavor production and exotic phenomena beyond the standard model, and each subject is covered in some detail from the experimentalist's point of view. 119 refs., 81 figs.
