Aerial view of Zero Gradient Proton Synchrotron (ZGS)

Aerial view of Zero Gradient Proton Synchrotron (ZGS), $47,000,000 'atom smasher' under construction at Argonne National Laboratory. When completed in 1963, the device is expected to produce more fundamental nuclear particles that any other machine of its type in the world. Large experimental areas are being constructed around the doughnut-shaped accelerator in which scientists will study beams of particles deflected from the ring-magnet region.
