...Cyclotron Biomedical Building, the culmination of five years of research in the effect of certain types of high energy radiation on men and animals in outer space, officially opened Thursday...
...Converse Laboratories, the two buildings which concentrated in a single, compact area all the University's research facilities at that time. Years later, Shepley followed the same principle with three other buildings--the College's biology laboratories, the Computation Center, and the nuclear laboratory housing the University's cyclotron...
Strauch has used high energy protons from the Harvard Cyclotron to investigate the structure and properties of nuclei. He has also investigated the properties that have been found in recent years in the world of nuclear physics...
Probing the Unknown. Dr. Livingston, who collaborated as a graduate student with Nobel Prizewinner Ernest Lawrence to invent the first cyclotron, in 1930, points out that while the Cambridge electron accelerator does not approach the energy of the 30-BEV proton accelerator at Brookhaven, it has important special talents. Since its electron projectiles are very small compared with protons, they can be used to explore the unknown inner structure of both protons and neutrons. They generate beams of enormously powerful 6-BEV X rays, and these in turn can be used to explore matter. The same big X rays, which...
...were treated are progressing satisfactorily, but more time will be needed before a precise evaluation of the results can be made. The fourth patient, a two-year-old girl, died; but her death was due to a recurrent tumor outside the irradiated zone. However, the accuracy of the Cyclotron does reduce the danger of damaging healthy cells and organs outside the target area...
