GREATEST ATOM SMASHER READY

; —— New Discoveries Expected In Nuclear Physics.

By Science Service BERKELRY, Cal, Nov." 4—The world's most powerful atom smasher, “4he University of Californias new 184-inch cyclotron, has: been completed with a promise of impor= tant discoveries in nuclear physics. Built under the direction of the atom-smashing pioneer, Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence, the new frequency modulated cyclotron is now undergoing tests that will bring it into operation studying nuclear reactions, Pointing out’ that the tests now being made ‘are in a new region of ‘atomic acceleration, Dr, Lawrence said that two to three months may be required to make the complicated parts of the new instrument function as a team. The new cyclotron can generate heavy hydrogen atoms at 20,000,000

Twe Other Types Studied | Atomic scientists have predicted many entirely new nuclear reactions will result from work with the new cyclotron, : Meanwhile two other types of atom smashers are being studied here, A 300,000,000-volt synchrotron is being built under the direction of Dr. Edwin M. McMillan and is scheduled next year. Theoretically more pow~ erful than either of the other types is the by Dr. Luis W. Alvarez. A model of this atom smasher, believed capable of accelerations as high as billions of volts, is also under construction.
