Physics Today

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s 22‐year old cyclotron (which is capable of producing a 7.5 MeV proton beam) is undergoing a $500 000 modernization program. The entire existing cyclotron building, except for the machine itself and the concrete vault that houses it, has been torn down and is being replaced by a larger two‐story structure. Improvements will include an enlarged target area, up‐to‐date beam‐focusing equipment, a modern radiochemistry laboratory, and expanded general research laboratories.
