First data from Dzero in Run 2

Abstract

Run 2 of the Tevatron collider at Fermilab has begun in the spring of 2001. During its first year of operation the Tevatron has delivered a luminosity of approximately 30/pb to the Dzero experiment. These data have been used to commission the detector. The progress in understanding the detector performance and the prospects for an exciting physics program to be carried out in the next years are the subject of this review.
