Excerpts from the University of Pittsburgh proposal for the purchase of a three‐stage Van de Graaff accelerator
JUN 01, 1963
As part of today’s quickened effort to upgrade the quality and quantity of nuclear structure physics research, many program proposals are being made by colleges and universities both here and abroad. Mindful of the high degree of interest in these proposals, High Voltage Engineering Corporation is planning to publish excerpts from some of them in the hope you will find them both stimulating and informative.

“It is proposed that the National Science Foundation support the purchase, installation, and initial operation of a three‐stage Van de Graaff accelerator to be installed in a new laboratory building to be provided by the University of Pittsburgh as part of its nuclear research program… “…The group in charge of developing the accelerator at the High Voltage Engineering Corporation is confident of achieving about 0.5 microamperes of protons or deuterons at 22 Mev. There is every reason to expect good beams of carbon and oxygen ions at about 60 Mev and 75 Mev respectively…”
