Cornell Electron‐Positron Ring to be Upgraded

In June, NSF approved a three‐year, $36‐million project to upgrade Cornell's CESR electron‐position storage ring. The approval came as good news for Karl Berkelman, who was to become director of the Cornell Newman Laboratory a few weeks later, succeeding Boyce McDaniel, who retires from the directorship he has held since he succeeded Robert Wilson in 1967.
