The University of Chicago announced last month that it had abandoned its attempt to find a buyer for the fifteen‐year‐old, 100‐MeV betatron that is no longer needed. During its period of use, the accelerator had served primarily as an x‐ray source for research in physics. Now it has been dismantled, with some of its components sold and others sent to Argonne National Laboratory.
