OPAL detector

OPAL detector

OPAL, or Omni-Purpose Apparatus for LEP was one of the four detectors of the LEP collider. The detector was dismantled in 2000 to make way for LHC equipment. The name was a pun since some of the founding members of the scientific collaboration which first proposed the design had previously worked on the JADE detector at DESY in Hamburg.
