With a modest extension the Batavia accelerator may be able to produce 1000‐GeV protons, double the expected 500‐GeV maximum, according to National Accelerator Laboratory director Robert R. Wilson. On 9 March Wilson told the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy how a relatively inexpensive device ($10–20 million) consisting of small‐bore superconducting magnets could act as an “energy doubler” that would pay for itself within the first few years of operation.
