The Tevatron (background circle), a synchrotron collider type particle accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), Batavia, Illinois, USA. Shut down in 2011, until 2007 it was the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, accelerating protons to an energy of over 1 TeV (tera electron volts).
Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski (Russian: Анатолий Петрович Бугорский; born 25 June 1942) is a Russian retired particle physicist. He is known for surviving a radiation accident in 1978, when a high-energy proton beam from a particle accelerator passed through his head. [1] [2]
Fermitron was an accelerator sketched by Enrico Fermi on a notepad in the 1940s proposing an accelerator in stable orbit around the Earth. The undulator radiation collider [7] is a design for an accelerator with a center-of-mass energy around the GUT scale. It would be light-weeks across and require the construction of a Dyson swarm around the Sun.
The Proton Synchrotron (PS, sometimes also referred to as CPS [1]) is a particle accelerator at CERN. It is CERN's first synchrotron , beginning its operation in 1959. For a brief period the PS was the world's highest energy particle accelerator .
The first system is the linear particle accelerator Linac4 generating 160 MeV negative hydrogen ions (H − ions), which feeds the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB). There, both electrons are stripped from the hydrogen ions leaving only the nucleus containing one proton.
The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) (also nicknamed the "Desertron" [2]) was a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas, United States. Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 TeV per proton and was designed to be the world's largest and most energetic ...
The UNK proton accelerator is an uncompleted project of 3 TeV large superconductor-based particle accelerator in Protvino, near Moscow, Russia, at the Institute for High Energy Physics. [1] [2] The U-70 synchrotron commissioned in 1967 was supposed to act as an injector for the UNK proton-proton collider ring. [3] [4] Construction was started ...
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is a particle accelerator of the synchrotron type at CERN. It is housed in a circular tunnel, 6.9 kilometres (4.3 mi) in circumference, [ 1 ] straddling the border of France and Switzerland near Geneva , Switzerland.
