The cyclotron laboratory at MSU has been known for years as the best university nuclear physics laboratory in the United States, and perhaps in the world. But very few, even in its hometown of East Lansing, know how it achieved that status or why it prospered when laboratories at many other famous universities faded. In this book Austin, a nuclear physicist who has been at the laboratory since the beginning of its ascent, gives us a remarkable story. It begins with an exceptional individual, Henry Blosser, who founded the laboratory, built a cyclotron accelerator of uniquely high precision, and recruited a team of nuclear physicists that used it to establish the laboratory's reputation. Its credibility led to a sequence of accelerators, each operating in a different sub?eld while continuing a tradition of forefront science, and to a laboratory culture that fostered the courage and foresight to compete for the FRIB in the face of daunting odds.CyclotronsMichiganEast LansingCyclotronsElectronic books.CyclotronsCyclotrons.539.733Austin Sam M.44504Simon Lou Anna K.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460996403321Up from nothing1993653UNINA01654nam 2200409Ia 450 99638759890331620200818220900.0(CKB)4940000000083807(EEBO)2248573789(OCoLC)ocm21990068e(OCoLC)21990068(EXLCZ)99494000000008380719900711d1631 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|Kidman, 1631[electronic resource] a new almanack and prognostication for the yeare of our Lord God 1631, being the third from the leap yeare, and since the conquest by Duke William 565 : calculated and composed according to the rules of art for the meridian and latitude of Saffron-Walden in Essex, the pole there elevated 52 degrees above the horizon, and may without sensible errour serve any part of this kingdome of England[Cambridge, England] Printed by the printers to the Universitie of Cambridge[1631][39] p. 1 illSignatures: [A]⁸ B⁸ C⁴.Title within ornamental border.Imperfect: tightly bound with slight loss of print.Reproduction of original in the Bodleian Library.eebo-0014Almanacs, EnglishAstrologyEarly works to 1800EphemeridesEarly works to 1800Almanacs, English.AstrologyEphemeridesKidman Thomasfl. 1631-1638.1007743EBLEBLWaOLNBOOK996387598903316Kidman, 16312322348UNISA
