Presumably a collider has some sort of pinhole out of which particles get ejected in a particular direction, and the energy (momentum) with which they are ejected is supposedly known. So, the operators/designs of the instrument know both the position (at the ejection pinhole, or whatever) and momentum (energy) of these particles...uh...how?! Maybe they really don't know them both as precisely as one (or at least I) am lead to believe? (This is not to mention ejection time!)
