scientists at Fermilab and Brookhaven Lab.) DOE labs: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Most of the magnets used in The LHC are built in three U.S. (We have not really left High Energy Physics. If this project had been built, most probably the Higgs Boson would have been found there, not in Europe, to which the USA had ceded High Energy Physics. It would have greatly surpassed the current record held by the Large Hadron Collider, which has ring circumference 27 km (17 mi) and energy of 13 TeV per proton. Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 Tev per proton and was set to be the world’s largest and most energetic. In 1993, our idiot Congress pulled the plug on The Superconducting Super Collider, a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas. The oldest post I can find for this blog is From FermiLab Today: Tevatron is Done at the End of 2011 (but I am not sure if that is the first post, just the oldest I could find.)īut the origin goes back to 1985, Timothy Ferris Creation of the Universe PBS, November 20, 1985, available in different videos on YouTube The Atom Smashers, PBS Frontline November 25, 2008, centered at Fermilab, not available on YouTube and The Big Bang Machine, with Sir Brian Cox of U Manchester and the ATLAS project at the LHC at CERN. I am telling the reader this story in the hope of impelling him or her to find their own story and start a wordpress blog.
