  • Bubble chamber

  • Cyclotron

  • Synchrocyclotron

  • Electron-positron storage ring

Answer

Samuel C. C. Ting used an electron-positron storage ring to discover the J/ψ particle. An electron-positron storage ring is a device that uses electromagnetic fields to confine a beam of electrons and a beam of positrons, which are the antiparticles of electrons. When the two beams collide, they produce a variety of particles, including the J/ψ particle.
