Radiation, Dosimeter Obligatory : Synchro-Cyclotron Particle Accelerator , CERN, Geneva, Switzerland 2015

Synchro-Cyclotron Particle Accelerator , CERN, Geneva, Switzerland 2015.

 

This 600-MeV Synchrocyclotron (SC), which came into operation in 1957, was CERN’s first accelerator. It provided beams for CERN’s first experiments in particle and nuclear physics.

 

A project to turn the SC into a visitor exhibition was carried out in time for CERN’s 2013 open days, and the SC exhibition is now one of the visit itineraries for CERN guided tours.

 

The European Organization for Nuclear Research is a research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. Established in 1954, the organization is based in a northwest suburb of Geneva on the Franco–Swiss border.
