The world’s most powerful spiral‐ridge cyclotron is expected to begin operation on the campus of Texas A & M University some time in 1968. Jointly funded by the Atomic Energy Commission, the Robert A. Welch Foundation, and Texas A & M, the $6 million machine will be a variable‐energy, multiple‐particle accelerator with a maximum energy of about 120 MeV, twice the energy of the Berkeley 88‐inch spiral‐ridge cyclotron, and a minimum energy of 10 MeV. The Texas cyclotron will have a 400‐ton magnet, measuring 88 inches across the pole face.
