Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory.
Superconducting super collider collection, 1986-1988.
This collection contains site proposal, feasibility assessment, notes, United States Department of Energy Environmental Impact Statements, audiocassettes, and videocassettes, and other related items pertaining to the development, design, and siting of a Superconducting Super Collider (SSC).
The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) was to be a ring particle accelerator, proton-proton collider, and high-energy physics laboratory with a ring circumference of fifty-four miles. It was initially suggested in 1982 by a National Reference Designs Study with its design completed and construction approved by 1987. North Carolina was considered as a possible location for the SSC because the area met certaih geologic criteria. The project was awarded, however, to a site in Waxahachie, Texas.Construction of the Superconducting Super Collider started, but the project was cancelled by Congress in 1993.
