One of these accelerators is the Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR), an apparatus that would be capable of accelerating two beams of ions and colliding them head-on.
Notable "firsts" were the Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) proton-proton collider commissioned in 1971, and the proton-antiproton collider at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), which came in 1981 and produced massive W and Z particles two years later, confirming the unified theory of electromagnetic and weak forces.
