More Electron Rings: LRL Forms Them; Dubna Starts Extraction

APR 01, 1969

A group from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, is doing experiments to extract an electron ring from an electron‐ring accelerator (smokatron), according to V. P. Sarantsev, who spoke at the March Particle Accelerator Conference in Washington. A 1.5‐MeV electron beam is injected into the Dubna device and forms a doughnut, which is then compressed (PHYSICS TODAY, February 1968, page 51 and November 1968, page 61). Then hydrogen is injected, becomes ionized, and protons are trapped inside the ring.
