DOI: 10.1063/1.3067664
On June 10th Brookhaven National Laboratory’s recently completed synchrotron made history by producing a proton beam with an energy of 2.25 billion electron volts, or roughly five times greater than that of the previous record‐holder, the 170‐inch synchrocyclotron at the University of Chicago’s Institute for Nuclear Studies (see the article by D. E. Nagle, Physics Today, June 1952).
