[edit] Tevatrom

The article says this is the most powerful particle accelerator ever built, but Tevatron is the highest energy collider, at 1TeV I know this to be true, at over double the energies LEP could priduce, so surely isnt tevatron the most powerful particle accelerator?

[edit] Mass Increase of Particles

My understanding is that the view that particles gain mass as their speeds increase isn't used much now, mainly due to the confusion over rest and relativistic mass. For example it certainly isn't taught that way in my lectures, or see http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/mass.html. I think my rewording of this part makes the text clearer anyway, as it is the energies of the particles that is important - the relativistic mass increase isn't directly an issue. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pagw (talk • contribs) 21:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, your most recent edit seems better. By the way, you can sign your comments by putting ~~~~ at the end. -- SCZenz 14:03, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Oops I just forgot to sign...

[edit] Broken Link

It might be worth noting that the majority of links (pertaining to the relevant information) from * LEP Operations (Archives)are not working or have simply become redundant. I would make the change myself but just incase this is only temporary ill leave it be for someone else to confirm. Cheers. Grimwires 13:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
