Thirty years after power up
DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Thirty years ago this summer – in 1972 – the world's most powerful linear accelerator powered up for the first time. When it reached full energy, it generated pulses of 800-million-electron-volt protons at a repetition rate of up to 120 per second and an average current of 1 milliampere. It was the dawn of a new era in nuclear physics.
