SIN to Begin Accelerating Before the End of 1973

MAR 01, 1970

SIN (Schweizerisches Institut für Nuclearforschung, or the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research) has begun to prepare the site for its meson factory at Villigen near Zurich. The design of this machine was recently discussed by hen;Pierre Blaser. A variable energy cyclotron will accelerate protons to 70 MeV and a second cyclotron will complete acceleration to 500 MeV with an expected current of 100 microamperes. The facility can be used for experiments with the low‐energy beams of the injector cyclotron or for intermediate‐energy physics with both accelerator stages.
