27 experiment records · 21 representative site groups
Each date marks one chosen event: an observation, a publication or the end of an experiment. It is not a construction date or an operating period. A “Historical record” label says nothing about whether the instrument runs today. Every dated statement was checked against its linked source on 15 October 2026.

The instrument is only one point in a network.
A detector in Antarctica, Japan or Canada is not the work of its host alone. Design, analysis, calibration, computing and funding link institutions on different continents. This map does not divide credit among countries.
The selected experiments span different methods and generations; they are not a complete list of facilities. Positions are approximate and show only rough geography. ARCA and ORCA have separate markers because they sit at different sites and ask different questions.
