Supercollider5/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Led by Stanford University physicist Stanley Wojcicki, and charged with making recommendations “for a forefront United States High Energy Physics Program in the next five to ten years.” the HEPAP subpanel recommended that the US build the Superconducting Super Collider. Įarly in 1983, HEPAP ( High-Energy Physics Advisory Panel) formed the New Facilities for the US High-Energy Physics Program subpanel. The supercollider was formally discussed in the 1984 National Reference Designs Study, which examined the technical and economic feasibility of a machine with the design energy of 20 TeV per proton. ![]() After 22.5 km (14 mi) of tunnel had been bored and about 2 billion dollars spent, the project was cancelled by the US Congress in 1993. Department of Energy administrator Louis Ianniello served as its first project director, followed by Joe Cipriano, who came to the SSC Project from the Pentagon in May 1990. The laboratory director was Roy Schwitters, a physicist at the University of Texas at Austin. Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 TeV per proton and was designed to be the world's largest and most energetic particle accelerator. The Superconducting Super Collider ( SSC) (also nicknamed the desertron ) was a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas. ![]()
