Which high energy particle collider was completed first, the Tevatron or the Large Hadron Collider?
Tevatron The Tevatron was a circular particle accelerator (now inactive, since 2011) in the United States, at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (also known as "Fermilab"), just east of Batavia, Illinois, and holds the title of the second highest energy particle collider in the world, after the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland. The Tevatron was a synchrotron that accelerated protons and antiprotons in a 6.86 km, or 4.26 mi, ring to energies of up to 1 TeV, hence its name. The Tevatron was completed in 1983 at a cost of $120 million and significant upgrade investments were made in 1983–2011.
Trinity (supercomputer) Trinity is a supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, United States. As of June 2016, Trinity is standing at the 7th rank among the most powerful supercomputers in the world.
