Physics Today

A heavy‐ion accelerator called “UNILAC” is to be built just outside Darmstadt, West Germany. The accelerator is expected to accelerate uranium ions to nearly 12 MeV/nucleon and lighter ions as high as 20 MeV/nucleon. The project has been authorized and funded by the German government for $22 million, and the scheduled completion date is 1974 or 1975.
