The new Proton Storage Ring built to enhance the neutron‐beam generating capability of the LAMPF (LOS Alamos Meson Physics Facility) proton linac has received its first beam. When the $22‐million ring is fully commissioned by the end of next year, the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center will become the country’s most intense spallation source of neutrons, comparable to the new SNS spallation source at Britain’s Rutherford Laboratory. Construction of the Los Alamos storage ring began in 1982.
