The Michigan State University Cyclotron Laboratory: Its Early Years (2016)

unapi

The Michigan State University Cyclotron Laboratory was founded in 1958 and over the years grew in stature, becoming the highest-ranked university-based program in nuclear science. Its K50 cyclotron had unmatched capability as a light-ion accelerator and helped to define what a modern cyclotron could do to advance our understanding of nuclei. This paper describes the first twenty years of the Cyclotron Laboratory’s evolution and gives some insight into the cultural characteristics of the laboratory, and of its early members, that led it to thrive.
