Tevatron accelerator

This undated image released by Fermilab shows 4-mile (6.4-km) in circumference Tevatron accelerator which uses superconducting magnets chilled to minus 450 degrees Fahrenheit (-268C), as cold as outer space, to move particles at nearly the speed of light. The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is located just outside Batavia, Illinois, near Chicago. The lab is a US Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics.
