Stanford professor Stanley Wojcicki led the subpanel of HEPAP that pushed for the creation of a large one of these machines that was ultimately canceled in 1993. One of these machines was shut down for over a year just ten days after its first use in 2008 because of a quenching accident. Waxahachie, Texas was the location of the SSC, which was planned to be the world's largest one of these machines before financial mismanagement tanked the project. In 1974, coincidental discoveries in two of these machines led to the November Revolution. Leon Lederman oversaw the construction of one of these machines in Batavia, Illinois. Notable examples of these machines are the RHIC in Brookhaven and Tevatron in Fermilab. For 10 points, name these high-energy scientific research devices exemplified by the LHC. ■END■
