The Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab was able to accelerate protons or antiprotons to a maximum energy of 1.0 TeV as they traveled around a 6.3-kmcircumference ring. (a) How much time did it take a 1.0-TeV proton to make one revolution around the ring? (b) What was the maximum energy available in a colliding-beam experiment with protons and antiprotons? (c) How much energy would protons need to have the same energy as you found in part (b) available in a fixed-target experiment?
