DELPHI (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.[1][2] The specific focus of DELPHI was on particle identification, three-dimensional information, high granularity (detail), and precise vertex determination.[3]
