NAL considers energy doubler, storage rings

JUL 01, 1974

The National Accelerator Laboratory was officially dedicated and named the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory on 11 May.

Yet, even as the Fermi Lab has nearly achieved its original goals, planners there are contemplating future goals. In a talk at the April meeting of the APS in Washington, D.C., Don Edwards of the Fermi Lab described two new possibilities—an energy doubler and storage rings.
