摘要:

This paper discusses the technical developments in which the MURA group participated, as recalled at this time by the author. K. M. Terwilliger contributed to many of these developments. Early work at MURA included the development of fixed‐field alternating‐gradient (FFAG) accelerators, the radial sector FFAG model, the spiral sector model, the development of beam stacking, and the development of colliding beams as a practical experimental goal. Theoretical studies included nonlinear orbit computations, analysis of the acceleration process, space charge limits, and analysis of the negative mass and other instabilities. Experimental studies of many of these phenomena used the FFAG models. The cascade synchrotron, developed during the 1959 MURA Summer Study, was the basis for most modern accelerators.

摘要:

The history of two related strong interaction experiments carried out at the Argonne ZGS accelerator in the mid 1960’s is described. These experiments involved the study of the production and decay distributions of &pgr;+p→&rgr;+Nfor forward production of &rgr;, and &pgr;+p→N*+&pgr; for backward production ofN*. Special emphasis is given to the role played by Kent Terwilliger in conceiving these experiments and bringing them to a successful conclusion. A literature search is carried out to assess the impact of these experiments on the strong interaction physics of the period.
