Argonne National Laboratory

A model of components of the Zero Gradient Synchrotron (ZGS) was viewed by Governor Otto G. Kerner at Argonne National Laboratory. The model shows details of one of eight sections of a 4,800-ton magnet ring that guides protons around the ZGS as they are accelerated. L-R in the foreground: Lee C.
