CASPAR (Compact Accelerator System for Performing Astrophysical Research), was assembled 4,850 feet underground in the Lead, South Dakota Sanford Underground Research Facility after being transferred from Notre Dome, its original home. Being so far under the earth, the Compact Accelerator System is protected from cosmic radiation that could interfere with the experiments being tested. CASPAR "is a 50-foot-long, low-energy particle accelerator that will begin data collection this fall" collecting the answers to questions like How do stars run? How do they produce energy? and, How are elements made?.
I find this very exciting because I love learning about space and where things actually came form. This experiment will being finally answering some of the questions I've always had and I'm very excited to start finally getting some answers.
