Abstract

A tunnel 183 meters long and 4 meters in diameter has been dug for the 152-meter superconducting niobium linear accelerator to be built underneath the Stanford High Energy Physics Laboratory (PHYSICS TODAY, Jan. 1966, page 96). The 15 000-liter, 300-watt superfluid helium refrigerator is being installed, and the first 6.1-meter aluminum dewar sections have been delivered. William M. Fairbank and H. Alan Schwettman, heading the design team, hope to have the linac in operation by 1971.
