AGS’s second decade: more precise experiments
DOI: 10.1063/1.3021777
The 30‐GeV Alternating Gradient Synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory will remain the best place to study many kinds of particle reactions (such as those that test time reversal) even after the much higher energy Batavia accelerator comes into operation. This view was offered by Jack Sandweiss at a summer study held at Brookhaven to explore the future role of the AGS. Sandweiss mentioned that the AGS will continue to be this country’s best K‐meson factory for K‐meson energies in the region less than 10 GeV. Although the 500‐GeV machine due to turn on a year from now at Batavia will produce K‐meson beams at much higher energies, the CP‐violating decays (first observed with K mesons produced by the AGS) are most easily studied with the lower energy K’s available at Brookhaven.
