William Jones on the phone while checking a Cerenkov counter

High-energy research revolves about the 300-million-electron-volt synchrotron. In its design and construction, as well as in its continued application to research problems in nuclear physics, it stands as the latest in a series of noteworthy Research Laboratory advances in the investigation of the structure of matter. The big machine, operated by the Electron Physics Department, has been used for research since 1953. Its predecessor, a 70-mev machine, was the first working synchrotron in the United States. Dr. William Jones, Jr., with the synchrotron in background, phones control room while checking a Cerenkov counter. The counter measures the energies of x-rays produced when the synchrotron's beam interacts with matter., Credit Line: Research Information Services, General Electric Research Laboratory, courtesy AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives
