   Experimental verification lagged the theory significantly due to the extreme mass of these particles. The necessary collision energies were only attainable with the operation of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. From 1981 to 1984, the SPS was operated in a unique configuration known as the Santi-Proton Synchrotron (SPSp), colliding protons and antiprotons to reach the requisite center-of-mass energies ($\approx 90 \text{ GeV}$).
   The definitive discovery was announced in 1983, stemming from data collected by the [UA1](/entries/…
