The Cambridge Electron Accelerator Available to Purchase

Dedication ceremonies were held on September 14 at Harvard University, the site of the new 6‐BeV accelerator which was designed and built, and is now being operated, as a joint project of Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with the support of the Atomic Energy Commission. The accelerator first went into operation on March 7 with an initial beam of 2.2‐BeV electrons. On August 13 it achieved the maximum energy for which it was designed, producing a beam of 6 BeV. The principal speaker at the dedication was Leland J. Haworth of the Atomic Energy Commission, who was one of a large delegation of distinguished scientists and government officials on hand for the ceremonies.
