Physics Today

Physicists at Stanford University have recently completed a three‐month rebuilding of the Mark III linear electron accelerator at the University’s High‐Energy Physics Laboratory. The beam energy was increased ten percent (to 1163 MeV), and the beam current was doubled. The cost of the overhaul ($150 000) was shared by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Office of Naval Research. The Mark III was built in 1951.
