Daresbury Turns on its Electron Synchrotron
DOI: 10.1063/1.3034239
Last December, NINA began accelerating electrons at the Daresbury Nuclear Physics Laboratory in England. In initial tests, the strong‐focusing synchrotron accelerated electrons up to energies as high as 4.5 GeV with a circulating current of 0.7 milliampere; at 4 GeV more than 7 milliamperes were obtained. Eventually it is expected to reach more than 1 microampere mean current at 4 GeV.
