Number 136 (Story #4), July 9, 1993 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein
THE TWO DETECTOR FACILITIES PLANNED FOR THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER (LHC) are to be called ATLAS and CMS. The LHC itself has not yet been approved for construction at the CERN lab in Geneva; that decision will be made in December. As with the detector groups at LHC's higher-energy rival, the SSC (whose fate will presently be decided in the US Congress), ATLAS and CMS are supported by mammoth retinues: respectively, 800 and 400 physicists from a score of nations.
