The commissioning of the 1 GeV Duke Storage Ring began in November, 1994 with the demonstration of injection, storage and ramping to 1 GeV at the fwst attempt. The ring is now operational. The Duke project is unique in that the storage ring and linac were designed, constructed and commissioned by a small new University laboratory, operating on a low budget. The team is comprised of six accelerator physicists and graduate students, eight engineers, and fifteen technicians.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
