...Inspection tour of the Jefferson Physics Laboratories including the famous Cyclotron was announced for this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock by Professor F.A. Saunders of the Physics Department...
Members of the group will assemble in Jefferson 250 and then proceed to the MacKay Laboratories to see the Cyclotron in action deo volente. Professor Saunders says that it has been working well of late hurling an 11,000,000 atom-smashing volt "bullet." The tour will include several other representative pieces of the research constantly in progress at the Laboratories...
Harvard yesterday announced the completion of an 85-ton cyclotron capable of producing atomic projectiles of 11,000,000 volts energy, which will be of great use for research in the biological and physical sciences...
...Harvard cyclotron was planned and constructed by a group composed of Kenneth T. Bainbridge, associate professor of Physics; Jabez C. Street, associate professor of Physics; Roger W. Hickman, lecturer in Physics and Engineering; and John J. Livingood, instructor in Physics, working under the Committee on Nuclear Physics, of which Harry R. Mimno, associate professor of Physics, in chairman...
Atoms are transmuted when struck by the high-speed atomic particles or ions. The cyclotron affords a method of achieving these high speeds through a combination of electric and magnetic forces acting on the ions which have their origin at the center of a large vacuum chamber. These forces cause the atomic particles to travel in a spiral, receiving a "push" of many thousand volts at each half revolution...
