The Bevalac at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab is now accelerating uranium ions. This photographic emulsion shows the last half millimeter of track for three uranium ions accelerated to 150 MeV/nucleon. The bottom nucleus is seen to split into fragments. With its new injector for the Superhilac and a new Bevatron vacuum system, the Bevalac (as one calls the tandem system of Superhilac and Bevatron) is now capable of accelerating uranium to 900 MeV/nucleon.
