Yale University’s new, million‐dollar electron linear accelerator was formally dedicated September 14. Designed to operate normally at 40 Mev, the linac may reach energies greater than 80 Mev for currents smaller than its normal 25 kw. Under the direction of Howard L. Schultz, professor of physics, and associate physicists Charles K. Bockelman and James E. Draper; researchers will use the new facility for studies in such areas as photonuclear reactions, nuclear structure, neutron bombardment, and high‐energy electron scattering. Designed and built by the Applied Radiation Corporation of Walnut Creek, Calif., a subsidiary of High Voltage Engineering Corporation; the linac is housed in the Yale Accelerator Laboratory.
