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. The synchro-cyclotron is designed to reach energy levels of 25 thousand million electron volts, or over; in this machine the protons will move inside a vacuum chamber along a circular path formed by an electro-magnet with a diameter of 200 metres and a weight of about 3,500 tons; the protons will be accelerated to a speed approaching that of light. Shown here is some of the general laboratoty equipment used in designing and experimenting with the linear accelerator of the proton-synchrotron.

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. The 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. This picture shows the heat-exchangers of the water cooling system of the synchro-cyclotron.
Description: Equipment with pipes, valve handwheels, control panels.
