“…In the energy range up to 1000 MeV which we are considering in this article, the principal nuclear physics accelerators are now Van de Graaff generators, cyclotrons and linear accelerators. I n figure 1 we see the number of these accelerators for protons and deuterons between 10-1000 MeV which have been operating in the last 30 years (Burrill 1965, Howard 1958, Gordon and Behman 1963, F Chmara 1971. The trend shows an increasing number of tandem Van de Graaffs and sector cyclotrons, whose excellent beam properties will be described in later sections of this article.…”

“…Development work has continued in the 1960's, especially with the introduction of the tandem system to be described in the next section, at M I T and the High Voltage Engineering Corporation (HVEC) (Trump 1967, Chmara andCharpentier 1971) and at other laboratories such as AWRE, Aldermaston, England (Howe 1969). Work has been done on understanding high voltage breakdown phenomena, study of gas and solid insulators, and the design of better accelerating tubes.…”

This article describes the principal charged particle accelerators being used today for research in nuclear physics in the energy range up to about 1000 MeV. The accelerators include Van de Graaffs, sector cyclotrons and linear accelerators for both positive ions and electrons. For each type of accelerator a brief treatment is given of the recent history, operating principles, some special techniques, a typical facility, and some examples of experimental data from that type of accelerator. Descriptions are also given of new types of machines under construction, such as Pelletrons, frequency modulated sector cyclotrons, separated sector cyclotrons, and superconducting linear accelerators. New ideas for the future are mentioned, including multi-stage tandem-cyclotrons, and the electron ring accelerator. The reader is assumed to have no experience in. accelerators or nuclear physics, and many references are given to more detailed treatments of the topics covered.
