| 例句 | Knowing that the immense energies available to Lawrence via the cyclotron were hopelessly out of reach of their equipment, they opted for lower energies but a higher proton current—less power but more particles. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z On a bracing afternoon, he escorted Weaver into the Radiation Laboratory and showed him the twenty-seven-inch cyclotron, not skimping on the vaudeville of the lavender deuteron beam shooting into the air. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Nor was the fund-raising potential of the cyclotron lost on Lawrence. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Of these projects, he identified two—Sloan’s X-ray tube and the accelerator, not yet known as the cyclotron—as “rather spectacular and important in their early developments.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Berkeley had few faculty positions to offer members of the Rad Lab, and, in any case, sending his people out into the world was a crucial factor in spreading the cyclotron gospel. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Bethe’s stark conclusion that “it seems useless to build cyclotrons of larger proportions than the existing ones” appeared at a delicate and potentially mortifying moment for the Rad Lab. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The words must have elicited from Poillon a knowing, if wry, smile; in the midst of his travails, Lawrence was looking ahead to the time when the cyclotron’s inconstancy would be merely a quaint memory. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Ernest did not object, now that the tube’s capacity to generate research funds appeared to outstrip that of the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Their carbon preparation was a paint-like graphite suspension known as Aquadag, which they smeared onto probes for insertion into the cyclotron tank to be bathed in the deuteron beam for days at a time. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z After all, they had already erected the largest magnet in existence for the 184-inch cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The machines, which were dismantled by occupation personnel and dumped in the Pacific Ocean, included the identical copy of Lawrence’s sixty-inch cyclotron built in Tokyo. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Responded Darrow, “I now realize that this country may need a thousand cyclotrons.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z DuBridge went on to build a cyclotron at the University of Rochester, which brought the two physicists closer. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z In the years since the first grant was made, he explained, the cyclotron’s original design had been outrun by new technological possibilities. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The old tank was shipped to Yale, where it would become the core of the new cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The cyclotron started turning out these new products with amazing regularity. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z At the Rad Lab, Wilson contributed ingenious improvements to the cyclotron, among them a rubber gasket allowing probes to be inserted and withdrawn from the chamber without compromising the vacuum. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “We are convinced,” he wrote, “that much higher energies could be obtained from a cyclotron of larger dimensions.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The constraints on the size and power of the cyclotron came from something other than physics. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The following year, doctors working with John Lawrence conceived a new use for the cyclotron: the direct irradiation of patients. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Oddly for someone who had been rubbing shoulders with physicists for nearly twenty years, Weaver mistakenly described the beam in his diary as comprising 5-million-volt “electrons”—particles that were not in the cyclotrons inventory. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Ernest Orlando Lawrence, overlooking the 184-inch cyclotron at what is now Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. shaken off the torpor observed by Livingston in midsummer and were all operating again. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z He soon gravitated to the twenty-seven- inch cyclotron, which occupied the ramshackle old Rad Lab next door to Lewis’s domain, Gilman Hall. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z In the presentation speech, Professor K. M. G. Siegbahn of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences praised the cyclotron as “without comparison, the most extensive and complicated apparatus construction carried out so far.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z In effect, Livingston was slotted into the same role on the X-ray tube that he had played on the eleven-inch and twenty-seven-inch cyclotrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z His redesigned tank nearly doubled the energies produced by the cyclotron to 6 million volts and quadrupled the current. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z M. Stanley Livingstons 4-inch cyclotron, uncovered to show the interior, including the lone semicircular “dee” and a strip of copper serving as the target. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Three weeks later, the now thirty-seven-inch cyclotron gave birth to a powerful beam. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z One man who took such apocalyptic speculation seriously was Leo Szilard, the energetic and resourceful Hungarian physicist who had tried to patent a prototypical cyclotron just before Lawrence’s practical invention. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “Of course all of us here are pleased with the world-wide epidemic of cyclotron construction,” he assured William W. Buffum, general manager of the Chemical Foundation, one of his major patrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Kamen told Lawrence that he and Ruben would have been happy to continue their search, but the oversubscribed cyclotron was unavailable for the lengthy bombardments the program required. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrences visceral feel for the mechanics and capabilities of the calutrons matched the mysterious affinity he had always shown for the cyclotrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z By 1939, nearly a score of physicists who had been trained on Lawrence’s machines were building cyclotrons at a dozen American universities. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The cyclotron principle was still waiting to be observed and experimentally confirmed. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z By outlining the cyclotron’s vast potential for advancing the peacetime goals of basic science, Ernest convinced Fosdick that the machine just might serve as a beneficent scientific counterbalance to Hiroshima. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z He did not see the task as a ticket to fame, so he designed what he called a “quickie experiment” involving a single neutron detector placed in a stairway outside the cyclotron room. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The cyclotron was about to secure an international reputation as an indispensable tool of nuclear science. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Weaver came away dazzled by the cyclotron’s potential as a biomedical tool. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Never having seen a cyclotron in action and having heard tales of its difficult temperament, Bainbridge’s eyes widened. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z He now envisioned a cyclotron with a 4,500-ton magnet and pole faces of 184 inches, a scale that took away the breath of even Rad Lab veterans. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Only a few years hence, MIT president Karl Compton, himself a physicist with a cyclotron at his command, would issue his lament about the introduction of “an abnormal competitive element” into academic science. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Another factor driving Lawrence’s ambition was the speed at which the rest of the cyclotron world was catching up to Berkeley. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The Rockefeller Foundation grant required the cyclotron to be completed and placed in operation by June 30, 1944. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z His response to the mounting demands was not to reorder priorities to give his staff and graduate students some breathing space, but to add a late-night shift to keep the cyclotron running around the clock. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z This one battle to patent radioactive salt threatened to extinguish all this goodwill, slowing down the propagation of the cyclotron if not halting it altogether. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence knew the Cavendish delegates were skeptical not only of his deuton theory but also of the cyclotron itself as a laboratory tool. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z An imaginative experimentalist who had been skeptical of Lawrence’s deuteron theory, Kurie proposed to Cooksey that they goad Yale into building a cyclotron to rival Berkeley’s—and to do better work. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z His exuberance almost matched the moment when he had hatched the cyclotron idea itself. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z His letters arrived in Berkeley on Friday, January 26; at dawn the following Monday, Ernest was on the long-distance line, making an emotional plea for the Rockefeller Foundation to fund the cyclotron without delay. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z After the cyclotron, Lawrence would not receive another patent until wartime, when federal officials demanded that his inventive process for uranium separation be protected legally—and the patent rights be assigned permanently to the government. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z His background allowed him to see the cyclotron not as an experimental apparatus but as a machine requiring regular upkeep. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The cyclotron’s celebrity as a technological phenomenon fed on itself, fueling its inventor’s preference for engineering and salesmanship over the tedious drudgery of hard science. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z One other discovery by a European laboratory would help to establish the cyclotron as a must-have apparatus for physics research. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “The cyclotron evidently proves to be a sort of hen laying golden eggs,” Segre wrote Lawrence fulsomely. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The episode began with a prickly remark by Columbia’s Harold Urey, a chemist who maintained a lively skepticism about the cyclotron’s usefulness. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z What he had witnessed was the harvesting of the twenty-seven-inch cyclotron’s copious output of deuterons and neutrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z John was surprised at the meager demand in Berkeley for the isotopes being discovered and manufactured by the cyclotron with the efficiency of an assembly line. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “You’ve just got to play ball with us on the cyclotron,” he said. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The May-Johnson Bill would meet its legislative doom thanks to opposition from the scientists and public skepticism about military control, energized by public missteps such as the destruction of the Japanese cyclotrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Malcolm Henderson, working on the cyclotron in the next room, was used to hearing the X-ray workers shout to make themselves heard over the thrum of the tube’s oscillator. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Then there was, as always, his desire to demonstrate the cyclotron’s unique properties. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence calculated the cyclotron’s yield as the equivalent of more than one ton of radium—more radium than was known to exist on earth. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z As the apostle of building the biggest cyclotrons that technology and funding could produce, Ernest Lawrence was not shy about envisioning the new Berkeley cyclotron being funded by William Crocker’s donation on a grand scale. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z They started with physicists they knew personally: “We just got our good cyclotron friends together,” DuBridge would recall. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Luckily for mankind, he suggested, the cyclotron had been painstakingly developed to the point that it could perform that service. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z This was an extraordinary range of experimentation unmatched by its rivals: in 1939 Birge calculated that the Rad Lab had discovered more than half of all isotopes identified by cyclotrons worldwide. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The new cyclotron’s 4,500-ton magnet, the largest in the world, was still standing in the open air and other parts were packed in huge crates. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The new tank changed the cyclotron’s reputation from a device whose efficient management was something of a black art, toward one that could be operated predictably under almost any condition. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence had mentioned the possibility that he might look to the army for the funding necessary to complete the cyclotron, even if a government grant would mean devoting the machine chiefly to military research. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z That machine, now turning out radioisotopes and bombarding tumors with neutrons in the Crocker Lab, was the most exquisitely engineered cyclotron in the world, thanks to Brobeck’s painstaking oversight. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Sometimes this was manifested as a new willingness to admit error, as when Niels Bohr visited Berkeley in April 1937 and casually demolished an Oppenheimer theory based on results from the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z More broadly, he became the unofficial curator of cyclotron history and an assiduous chronicler of the spread of the technology, keeping Ernest supplied with frequent reports from the field. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Moreover, Weaver counseled, there would be no point in building a smaller cyclotron now, if everything might be won simply by sitting out a prudent delay. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z But the implication was clear: if Berkeley could not commit to the medical cyclotron, Harvard was waiting in the wings. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z They swallowed their complaints, sometimes because they too were swept up in the excitement of pushing the technical capabilities of the cyclotron further and further. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z He was even more thrilled with the reception the cyclotron was receiving on the skeptical and supercilious East Coast. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “Almost any lab of any consequence has consulted me regarding getting started on a cyclotron development. Even Tuve is making plans in this direction!” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The new isotope’s potency and the efficiency of the cyclotron in producing it surprised even experts accustomed to Lawrence’s guileless optimism. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Since the Research Corporation already held his patent on the cyclotron, which was the only practical apparatus for manufacturing radioactive substances, “therefore it is not necessary to have a patent on the substances themselves.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Franz Kurie, who had come to Berkeley from Yale as a National Research Council fellow, felt the Rad Lab’s experimental procedures were too slipshod to foster serious research on the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Cooksey’s new tank compiled everything the lab had learned about how to build a cyclotron into a rugged, gleaming, machined tank with glass insulators and arrangements for air and water cooling. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z This was the army’s wanton destruction in November of five Japanese cyclotrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence could also take pride in the cyclotron’s improved reputation as a reliable laboratory instrument. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence remained defensive about the oversight as late as 1940, when he rationalized it as the consequence of the Rad Lab’s singular devotion to improving the cyclotron at the expense of unimportant short-term discoveries. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z But Chadwick knew the moment had arrived when only the high energies produced by the cyclotron would serve physics. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The fund-raising campaign for the he-man cyclotron kicked off on January 7, 1940, when Warren Weaver arrived in Berkeley to visit with Lawrence and Sproul. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence had asked his childhood friend to double-check the Rad Lab’s results using the Carnegie’s accelerator, the only machine in the world that could approach the cyclotron’s energies. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Instead, he remained offstage, leaving the campaign of condemnation to Karl Compton, who was serving as scientific advisor to the occupation forces and publicly labeled the cyclotron destruction “an act of utter stupidity.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Eventually two other Cavendish scientists invented a more powerful proton-beam device, while in California Ernest Lawrence at Berkeley produced his famous and impressive cyclotron, or atom smasher, as such devices were long excitingly known. A Short History of Nearly Everything 2003-05-06T00:00:00Z The boss greeted his new recruit with the news that he had secured $70,000 in funding for the new sixty-inch cyclotron, and that Alvarez’s role would be to design its magnet. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The insight, which would be implemented in an accelerator known as the synchrotron, was a breakthrough on a par with Lawrence’s own recognition of the cyclotron principle. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence was once again making fresh footprints into a new world, an experience he had not enjoyed since the construction of the twenty- seven-inch cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The construction of a new cyclotron also was part of the deal. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence expected his cyclotron operators to carry their knowledge out into the world. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence was beating the bushes for money to build his new 100-volt, sixty-inch cyclotron, which by Bethe’s reckoning was ten times beyond useless. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Given the claims emanating from Berkeley about the superiority of the cyclotron for all varieties of nuclear research, the oversight demanded a deeper explanation than simply a miswired switch. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Ernest’s colleagues observed his “obvious distress” all weekend long; Compton suggested that he was excessively swayed by the friendships he had forged with Japanese physicists who had worked on the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “Everyone had to wait for sufficient vacuum in the cyclotron tank,” recalled Henderson, whose own peculiar mode of relaxation was to play the bagpipes. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z As part of the vanguard of European cyclotron construction, the university soon would rival the Cavendish as the hub of nuclear science in Britain. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The sixty-inch, a huge leap forward in cyclotron technology, had just begun to work, but Ernest Lawrence was already thinking ahead to the next step. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z If that were so, the reign of the cyclotron as sciences most powerful and effective atom smasher might be a brief one. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Just as Lawrence had warned Sproul that the cyclotron diaspora was bound to end Berkeley’s monopoly on cheap grad-student labor, it was now ending Berkeleys monopoly on cyclotron technology. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z For those already skeptical of the cyclotron, Lawrence’s error reinforced their scorn. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Ernest, guilelessly playing host, sat Jack Neylan in front of a blackboard and attempted to explain the cyclotron principle to him. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Fortunately, cyclotrons were still all the rage, especially among biomedical foundations anxious to keep the supply of medical isotopes flowing. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Alvarez’s own record, he argued, proved that the lab had reached the optimum balance between work on the cyclotron and work with the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The funding request for the new cyclotron was his first chance to exploit his new standing. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Adding to the insult, the Tokyo lab’s director, Yukio Nishina, already had received permission from occupation officials to restart his cyclotron for biological and medical research. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z John outlined a safety regime for the lab, including the relocation of the cyclotron controls from their place next to the machine and into a separate room. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Ernest drew up a preliminary list of first-year grants covering almost every cyclotron in the country save his own, apportioning $10,000 each for Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Michigan, and Princeton. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The second principle—and this was so crucial it became known as the “cyclotron principle”—was that as the particles gain speed, their paths spiral wider. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The staffs indifference to the energy fields produced by the cyclotron and X-ray tube was even more remarkable. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z He ran his finger down the column of figures—$25,000 for the new cyclotron, $40,000 in combined annual operational expenses— and remarked, “It’s a pretty large undertaking.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Nineteen thirty-seven was shaping up as the year of the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Many of them would retain lifelong memories of the first time they heard Ernest Lawrence describe the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “It may be that the day of useful nuclear energy is not so far distant after all,” he wrote to his fellow cyclotron builder Alexander Allen. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z When he plunged through, he would almost drag the reputations of the cyclotron and the Rad Lab down with him, sullying the perceived promise of Big Science. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The expedited work was finished by the end of May, and a vast circular building near Strawberry Canyon originally designed to house the world’s biggest cyclotron became the headquarters of an entirely different project. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z At the Nobel award ceremony in Berkeley, Kamen was still basking in the glory of having demonstrated, once again, the spectacular capabilities of the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The project returned him to the milieu of small science he had left behind after his first few handmade cyclotrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The original planning for the 184-inch cyclotron had called for the magnet’s construction to be completed by November, but that deadline had slipped with the arrival of war. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The Rad Lab was starting to operate on an industrial scale, with graduate students working in shifts to keep the cyclotron running round the clock. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lewis soon was providing heavy water in quantity to Ernest Lawrence, who vaporized it into gas to pump into the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Livingston’s breakthrough did not conclude the effort to improve the eleven-inch cyclotrons performance. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z For the better part of a year, the Rad Lab had been trying to produce mesons, the most sought- after and elusive subatomic particles of the moment, in the restored 184- inch cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Although his salary would be paid for the coming year from the medical school budget, he would be near enough to be summoned for work on the cyclotrons when needed. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Put bluntly, Lawrence’s poorly focused beam was coating the cyclotron’s interior surfaces with deutons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “Although the principle of the cyclotron is simple,” Cockcroft wrote after building a thirty-six-inch accelerator at the Cavendish, “the fact that it works is rather surprising.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z As a European cyclotron center, it would be joined by Frederic Joliot’s lab in Paris, Bohr’s in Copenhagen, and then, miraculously, by the Cavendish, which in 1936 found itself “wallowing in cash” from two windfalls. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The cyclotron principle was not exactly unknown to physics. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z His preoccupation with improving the cyclotron condoned sloppy and inattentive experimental work. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Then came what he called the moment of truth: they brought the sample to the thirty-seven-inch cyclotron, placed it in a neutron beam, and waited for their detector to announce the kicks that indicated fission. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Seaborg’s group commandeered the cyclotron to bombard uranium twenty-four hours a day. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z If element 94 was to be found, it could be found only through the intense and repeated bombardment of uranium—and the only machine capable of reaching the required energies was the sixty-inch cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence granted him priority access to both the thirty-seven-inch and sixty-inch cyclotrons for a “systematic and energetic campaign” to find long-lived radioactive isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, or oxygen, with carbon-14 the main quarry. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Since the power production of the cyclotron was directly proportional to the size of its magnet, this would be a major leap forward. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z In the aftermath of the controversy, he told Chadwick, “I’m not going to have a cyclotron in the Cavendish.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z In mid-February he had asked Fawrence for ammunition against the most likely objections to the new cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Let the cyclotron produce a perplexing result, and Lawrence’s reaction was invariably, “Let’s ask Oppie.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The lab really had an engineering staff of one: Don Cooksey, who was unquestionably skilled but who found it a challenge to maintain the technical standards of cyclotron design all by himself. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Radioisotopes would be the currency of a new physics, chemistry, and biology, and Lawrences cyclotron would be the world’s preeminent mint. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Among the cyclotron labs seeking sustenance, Berkeley remained the most voracious and still the most successful. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence acknowledged that the cost of the new cyclotron “could hardly be absorbed in the general university budget” and promised to help raise the necessary funds. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z He became an assiduous collector of government contracts large and small, starting with the production of radioisotopes at a standard fee of $25 per hour of cyclotron time. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Essentially, he was uncoiling the cyclotron that years earlier he had conceived by twisting Rolf Wideroe’s linear accelerator into a spiral. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z By then, the funding for the sixty-inch cyclotron was running perilously short. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Weaver had put his finger on the real shortcoming of the cyclotron lab, which was its scientific judgment, not its technical expertise. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z It only added to their shame that they were able to reproduce the Joliots’ findings almost immediately with the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Even pieces of the cyclotron diverted from the refuse bin were advancing science. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Perhaps this latter finding should not have been so surprising: after all, Lawrence himself was still thoroughly preoccupied with his other work—namely, the construction of the 184-inch cyclotron on the hillside above the university. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Fermi’s associate Franco Rasetti came away from a brief visit in 1935 astonished at the “enormous superiority” of the twenty-seven-inch cyclotron for the production of neutrons, far beyond anything available in Europe. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Ernest disclosed that he had received a visit from Arthur P. M. Fleming, research director of the British industrial giant Metropolitan-Vickers, and persuaded him to put up the money for a Liverpool cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Weaver warned that some might question whether it was necessary to build a new cyclotron at all, since cosmic rays carried energies equivalent to those to be expected from the new cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Hands-on cyclotron operators, a species of which Bethe was not a member, understood that there were so many imponderables about how the machine worked that empirical experience still trumped even the most carefully polished theory. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The sixty-inch machine laid easy claim to being the last word in cyclotron design. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z His thoughts turned to linear acceleration, the technology that Lawrence had been developing with David Sloan at Berkeley until the cyclotron demonstrated its superiority in 1931. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Within the decade, Oppenheimer’s theoretical teachings and Ernest Lawrence’s cyclotron would transform Berkeley into very much Caltech’s superior—no longer a desert but the preeminent center of nuclear physics in the world. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z A cyclotron designer could sacrifice either resonance or focusing, but not both. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Among the topics they had discussed was how to use the new cyclotron in the war effort, he told Loomis. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z As cyclotrons around the world contributed to the list of known isotopes, rumors and expectations began to surface that the accelerator’s inventor might be in line for the Nobel Prize. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z If the cyclotron development had been, let us say, a year earlier, I repeat, there is every reason to believe that some of these discoveries referred to would have been made using cyclotrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z For such a seminal moment in a field that demands rigorous procedural records, the full circumstances of the cyclotron’s birth remain frustratingly indistinct. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z One reason was the increasing power and efficiency of the Berkeley cyclotron, which then outstripped those of every other cyclotron in existence. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Weaver brought the blind request to Raymond Fosdick, disguised as a grant application “for expediting the construction of the giant cyclotron, and for the purchase of certain associated equipment.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z For its part, the Research Corporation enforced the cyclotron patent only against commercial and industrial entities; academic institutions got the blueprints for free. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z With the cyclotron grant hanging by a thread, he undertook to hustle them for votes. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Livingston considered himself an equal partner with Lawrence in the cyclotron’s early development. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence could afford to scoff at suggestions that the cyclotron was still in its shakedown stage. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The cost of cyclotrons already was raising the hackles of academic deans and presidents. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z And for that, the cyclotron at Washington University in St. Louis, which Compton had built before moving to the University of Chicago, would do. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The other was for a “new and larger cyclotron” for medical research, including the full-scale production of synthetic radioisotopes. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Most labs planning to build cyclotrons solicited the help of the Rad Lab to avoid having to learn things the hard way. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The equation involved a certain amount of fanciful math, but there was no disputing that the cyclotron was beginning to pay its way as a producer of radioactive isotopes on an industrial scale. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Finally, the lab was exploiting the advantages that made it unique: in this case, Lewis’s large supply of deuterium combined with the high energies produced by the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z ‘You fellows have been playing with your cyclotrons for four years. It’s time you got back to work.’ Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Before taking off, he was informed that the first microscopic quantity of U-235 had been separated from natural uranium in the thirty-seven-inch cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The cyclotron ran, “but it was held together with string and sealing wax, literally.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Lawrence was already occupied with the twenty-seven-inch cyclotron rising in the wooden Rad Lab. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z In truth, there was no doubt that a relativistic limit to cyclotron energies existed; the question was where it was. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The development of the cyclotron was begun several years before these discoveries on faith that the availability of controlled atomic projectiles within the laboratory would lead to important scientific progress. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z His goal was to expose them at close quarters to the charismatic energy of his protege Ernest Lawrence, and he was surely successful at finalizing their approval for the cyclotron grant. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z But thus far they had been detected only in cosmic rays; the possibility of a laboratory demonstration of their existence might well justify construction of the cyclotron that could achieve it. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Fie reminded his impatient supplicant that the full-sized cyclotron of his dreams had important supporters whose backing would yield dividends, if he would simply wait. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Wound with twenty-five tons of copper, this behemoth was transferred to the cyclotron’s unfinished new home before the end of March. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Alvarez seconded Nahmias’s perception that the cyclotron was used “as a radioactivity factory first of all because great numbers of new radioisotopes could be discovered that way with very little effort.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z After spending twenty minutes in the neutron-rich environment next to the cyclotron, they discovered that they had each absorbed several hundred daily doses. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Evans was not out of line in questioning whether the cyclotron yet ranked as a simple-to-use laboratory apparatus. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z This was an extraordinary claim that promised to rewrite fundamental laws of physics, backed up by extensive results from the cyclotron. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Yet Johns abstract warnings of the perils of the unshielded cyclotron had less visceral impact on the staff than the fate of the very first mouse he irradiated with neutrons. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Bethe had not been wrong about this obstacle, merely premature; but if the cyclotron were to move beyond 30 million electron volts, the issue had to be faced now. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Physicists of international standing were showing up in Berkeley to see the marvel in action and contemplate what they might accomplish with a cyclotron of their own.
