Question

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 (10[1])of a quenching accident. (10[2])Waxahachie, Texas (10[1])was the location of the SSC, which was planned to be the world's largest one of (-5[1])these machines (10[1])before financial mismanagement tanked the project. In 1974, coincidental discoveries in two of these machines led (-5[1])to the November Revolution. (10[1])Leon Lederman (10[1])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. (10[1])For 10 points, name these high-energy scientific research devices exemplified by the LHC. ■END■ (10[1])
