MAGNETS HAVE BEEN USED as experimental aids in nuclear physics since the earliest days of radioactivity studies. From the first crude devices used 60 years ago to the modern charged‐particle spectrographs used today, there has been a tremendous increase in complexity and utility of these instruments and, of course, an accompanying increase in weight and cost—sometimes by as much as a factor of 105.
