Sands, Physics with Intersecting Storage Rings, Academic Press, New York (1971). 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. |
