Proposal for the NRL Sector Focusing Cyclotron
Abstract
For several years some of the nuclear physicists at NRL have felt an increasing pressure to extend their research programs to an energy region not available with existing NRL particle accelerators. Thus, in September 1959, an ad hoc committee was formed consisting of personnel of the Nucleonics and Radiation Divisions. The function of this committee was to examine the characteristics of particle accelerators in terms of their suitability for extension of certain current research programs in both Divisions and in terms of their versatility for related problems in nuclear physics and allied fields. As the studies of the committee progressed, it became apparent that the accelerator which would satisfy the established requirements would also be a valuable facility for the investigation of many applied problems of interest throughout the Department of Defense. Some of the capabilities of such an accelerator are discussed in Chapter 1.
