28 Accelerators<br />

The beam originates at the top left and is accelerated in the linac (visible as a straight line) to get<br />

into the main injector (the bottom ring) where it is brought to 150 GeV. The Tevatron is the top<br />

ring, approximately 2 kilometers in diameter, where the beam is accelerated to 1 TeV. (Courtesy<br />
