Delphi
Delphi ( or ; , ) is both an
archaeological site and a modern town in
Greece on the south-western spur of
Mount Parnassus in the valley of
Phocis. In myths dating to
the classical period of Ancient Greece (510-323 BC), the site of Delphi was believed to be determined by Zeus when he sought to find the centre of his "Grandmother Earth" (Ge, Gaea, or
Gaia). He sent two eagles flying from the eastern and western extremities, and the path of the eagles crossed over Delphi where the
omphalos, or navel of Gaia was found.
DELPHI experiment
DELPHI (standing for "
Detector with Lepton, Photon and Hadron Identification") was one of the four main detectors of the
Large Electron–Positron Collider (LEP) at
CERN, one of the largest
particle accelerators ever made. Like the other three detectors, it recorded and analyzed the result of the collision between LEP's colliding particle beams.
