MSU Cyclotron Facility

Construction of a building to house a 50‐MeV variable‐energy sector‐focused cyclotron has begun on the campus of Michigan State University. The experimental area includes three separately shielded target rooms with walls and ceilings consisting of large, movable concrete blocks. The cost of the 34 500‐square‐foot building ($960 054) is being borne by the University, and the structure is scheduled to be completed by the end of August. The National Science Foundation is supplying financial assistance toward the construction of the cyclotron.
