Cool pics.
Wait, 10,000 ton cracker of invisible nuts? Was this a Bevatron or a Perez Hilton insult machine

Really though make that damn thing a museum. You could EASILY charge admission and let movie studios shoot in there.
They’re great for making medical isotopes, too.
Once you’ve discovered one antiproton, you’ve discovered them all. They’re like unicorns.
Some beautiful pictures. I remember when the Bevatron was the most powerful accelerator in the world. It was built so long ago, it probably didn’t even have superconducting magnets! It was the first to achieve energies of a billion electron volts (BEV, thus, the name).
It’s an interesting irony — the smaller the thing you want to look at, the bigger the microscope required. And this thing was just that, a microscope for examining some of the smallest things we had ever looked at up to that time.
Seeing the end of the Bevatron is nostalgic. Too bad we couldn’t manage to finish the Supercollider…
