Panel promotes electron‐beam studies of nucleus

APR 01, 1978

Noting new technical developments and consequent new opportunities for research, a panel has recommended increased funding over the next few years for the field of nuclear research using intermediate‐energy electron accelerators. The Study Group on the Role of Electron Accelerators in US Medium Energy Nuclear Science, headed by Robert S. Livingston (Oak Ridge), has also recommended that the nuclear‐physics community give serious consideration to the construction (beginning as early as 1981 or 1982) of a new national electron accelerator with a 100% duty cycle, energy of 1 to 2 GeV and electron‐beam current of approximately 100 μA.
