A proton synchrotron for 300 GEV

Sands, Matthew

Abstract

Until 1959 it was stated, and was generally accepted, that the achievement by artificial acceleration of very high interaction energies in the center-of-momentum framr of two nucleons would be practical in the immediatr future only with colliding-beam accelerator systems. Proposals were advanced for colliding-beam accelerators which would provide intensities of protons at about 10 Gev sufficient to obtain significant rates of proton-proton interactions. (Center-of-momentum energies of about 20 Gev.) Detailed consideration of colliding-beam devices at thr MURA laboratories has shown that these devices are indeed feasible. It is, however, clear that they will be both complex and costly.
