English transcription: European Organization for Nuclear Research. Twelve nations are members of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), a new organization set up under UNESCO sponsorship to aid the co-operation between separate research centers in the field of nuclear theory. The CERN program is concentrated on two big machines, a synchro-cyclotron and a proton-synchrotron, now under construction at the CERN laboratory site near Geneva. nnThe synchro-cyclotron is designed to work at the 600 million electron volts energy level; it consists of a vacuum chamber between the circular poles of a 2,500 tons electro-magnet. Protons are injected in this chamber and accelerated along a spiral path by high frequency electrical forces until they reach speeds approaching 250,000 km. per second. Shown here is part of one of the electronic laboratories now under construction in the synchro-cyclotron building.
Description: A man standing in front of an equipment panel with several buttons and cables. Books are in the foreground.
