The tunnel of the Super-Proton-Synchrotron (SPS) particle accelerator at CERN,the European particle physics laboratory outside Geneva. The SPS first accelerated protons in 1976,achieving energies of 400 GeV. Since 1981,the machine has also operated as a proton-antiproton collider,with the same magnets guiding protons and antiprotons around the ring in opposite directions. The accelerator forms an underground ring 7 km in circumference; it straddles the French/Swiss border. The photo was taken in 1976,shortly before the SPS began operating | |
