LARGE ELECTRON-POSITRON COLLIDER (LEP) 

 CERN 



"Big Science" Descriptor ; High-energy physics 



Description of Facility/ Instrument ; In this storage ring, positron 

 and electron particle beams could be collided, each up to a 

 60 GeV energy level. A Phase II storage ring is planned in 

 which a positron beam could be collided with an electron beam, 

 each up to a 130 GeV energy level.
