===Construction=== The UA2 experiment was located some 50 meters underground, in the ring of the [[Super Proton Synchrotron|SPS]]/[[Proton-Antiproton Collider|Sp{{overline|p}}S]] accelerator, and was housed in a big cavern. The cavern was large enough to house the detector, provide room for it to be assembled in a "garage position" without shutting down the accelerator and to where it was also moved back after periods of data taking. The accelerator could therefore revert to fixed-target operation, after periods of operating as a collider.<ref name=UA2CERN/>
