  Super Proton Synchrotron -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is a (A scientific instrument that increases the kinetic energy of charged particles) particle accelerator at (additional info and facts about CERN) CERN.
Originally specified as a 300 (additional info and facts about GeV) GeV machine, the SPS was actually built to be capable of 400GeV, an operating voltage it achieved on the official commisioning date of 17 June 1976.
The SPS is now to be used as the final pre-injector for high-intensity proton beams for CERN's (additional info and facts about Large Hadron Collider) Large Hadron Collider, scheduled to begin operation in 2006, accelerating protons from 26GeV to 450GeV.

 John Adams --  Encyclopædia Britannica
From the outset of his presidency, he faced unmerciful scrutiny from his political adversary,...
John Adams overcame the technological and political difficulties of building a large-scale accelerator to construct the powerful super proton synchrotron accelerator for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
During his life Henry Adams was known chiefly as a historian and as a member of a great American family (see Adams Family).
