Kurie, Donald Cooksey, Edward McMillan, Ernest O. Lawrence, and R. Thornton encouraging a beam in the 27-inch cyclotron. Lawrence, Livingston and Sloan labored to produce a beam between the poles of their 75 ton magnet. The sheet metal tanks that held the cooling oil leaked. "We all wore paper hats," Livingston recalls, "to keep the oil out of our hair." Experimentation with shimming gradually brought the beam to larger radii and energies; two symmetric dees were installed; and in December the new 27-inch cyclotron produced 4.8 MeV hydrogen ions.

With the onset of World War II, the project became a wartime priority. TheRockefeller Foundation pledged the principal amount, $1.4 million, in April 1940. It was to buy a cyclotron with a magnet face 184 inches in diameter. The machine would open the frontier beyond 100 MeV, where there lurked 'discoveries of a totally unexpected character and of tremendous importance.' But wartime uses intervened. The magnet was adapted for use in a 'Calutron,' a huge mass spectrograph to test the feasibility of Lawrence's plan to separate the fissile, or explosive, part of natural uranium, U-235, from its much more plentiful companion isotope, U-238. This work led to the establishment of large-scale calutron facilities at Oak Ridge. After the war, the 184-inch cyclotron was completed as a synchrocyclotron, or synchrotron, incorporating the principle of phase stability developed by Edwin McMillan and Vladimir Veksler. It became a valuable instrument for physics and, later, for biological and medical research. Its most important achievements include: the first production and identification of a subnuclear particle (the charged pi meson, or pion) at an accelerator; studies of the interaction and properties of pions; studies of proton-proton and neutron-proton interactions; and use of heavy particles for medical therapy. It ended operation in the 1980s, and the domed structure that housed the cyclotron was adapted to house the Berkeley National Advanced Light Source. -- JG /home/www/imglib/http/htdocs/ImgLib/COLLECTIONS/BERKELEY-LAB/PEOPLE/GROUPS/tags/97300775: Left to right: Drs.

Since Rutherford thought that tritium is stable, he required a reason why he could not obtain it from the plentiful interactions of deuterons. His answer: tritium disappears quickly by combining with the bombarding deuterons. As for helium-3 the consensus, as represented by H. A. Bethe, held it to be unstable, decaying into the elusive tritium by electron capture. It was precisely with this preconception- that tritium is elusive but stable and helium-3 is radioactive-that Luis Alvarez went to look for them in the summer of 1939. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.) /home/www/imglib/http/htdocs/ImgLib/COLLECTIONS/BERKELEY-LAB/PEOPLE/INDIVIDUALS/tags/96602534: Dr. Milton G. White beside the 60-inch cyclotron with which Alvarez showed the stability of helium- 3. The stability of helium-3 implied the radioactivity of tritium. Alvarez tested this inference with the help of Robert Cornog, a graduate student who worked on the oil vapor vacuum pumps for the 60-inch machine. They routed the issue of heavy water irradiated with deuterons into an ionization chamber attached to an amplifier and found a long-term activity whose carrier behaved like hydrogen The number of active atoms agreed roughly with the number of neutrons produced in the bombardment, confirming the formation of tritium and a proton from two deuterons. The new isotope was long-lived. No appreciable decay could be detected in a sample imprisoned for five months.

Marshak (right). Soon after he began his search for useful radioisotopes, Lawrence had the good luck to make sodium-24 efficiently by bombarding rock salt with deuterons. The new substance runs through the body like ordinary sodium; its convenient half-life, fifteen hours, made it useful in diagnosis and therapy. "My medical friends tell me that the properties of radiosodium are almost ideal for many medical applications, such as the treatment of cancer." Lawrence predicted that sodium-24 would supersede radium, and to make sure he promoted it on a national lecture tour. A volunteer-the first two were Alvarez and Joseph Hamilton of the University's hospital in San Francisco-would down a solution of the isotope, and Lawrence would track its course through his body. Lawrence received fresh supplies of sodium-24 by air mail just in time for these lectures, which increased the drama, and the value, of radioisotopes.

The reorganized laboratory was dedicated to nuclear science rather than, as in its first incarnation, to accelerator physics. This transformation, as we know, resulted from opportunities opened by the discoveries of artificial radioactivity and the biological action of neutron rays, and also, perhaps, from concern about the effects of the increasingly intensive neutron background on the men who worked around the accelerator.

Lawrence slumps from fatigue in his chair at the control panel of the cyclotron during calutron test. In August the first racetrack began to operate, successfully it was thought; but it soon collapsed, its vacuum leaky, its coils shorted, its tanks warped by its mighty magnet. Meanwhile Oppenheimer reported that a bomb would require three times as much U 235 as forecast. Lawrence and others flew in from Berkeley to diagnose the ailing racetrack, which was dismantled and returned to its manufacturers. The pressure overwhelmed even Lawrence. He spent the end of 1943 in a hospital in Chicago.

The new element, called plutonium on McMillan's principle of nomenclature, proved elusive. In May 1941 Kennedy, Seaborg, Segre, and Wahl established the isotope's fissionibility. It appeared that in sufficient quantities plutonium-239 might sustain an explosive chain reaction. After Pearl Harbor, the OSRD authorized Lawrence to continue plutonium studies at Berkeley and Arthur Compton to supervise the work toward a controlled, self- sustaining, plutonium-producing chain reaction that had been started by Fermi at Columbia and moved to Chicago. In March 1942 Seaborg was asked to join Compton and Fermi to develop chemical processes to separate plutonium after production. On April 17 he boarded the train for Chicago with the world's supply of plutonium in his briefcase.

Melvin Calvin took charge of this work at the end of the war in order to provide raw materials for John Lawrence's researches and for his own study of photosynthesis. Using carbon-14, available in plenty from Hanford reactors, and the new techniques of ion exchange, paper chromatography, and radioautography, Calvin and his many associates mapped the complete path of carbon in photosynthesis.

In a conventional cyclotron the relativistic mass increase ultimately shuts off acceleration: the particles fall progressively out of phase with the radio frequency field until they reach the gap between the dees as the field there drops to zero. Thereafter they will be decelerated. As McMillan (and, independently, the Soviet physicist V. I. Veksler) showed, a net acceleration might be achieved by decreasing the oscillator frequency without changing the magnetic field (the principle of the accelerated particles describe a path of constant radius (the protonsynchroton). In the case of relativistic electrons, only the magnetic field need be altered (the electron synchrotron).

In investigating the emission of positrons from aluminum struck by alpha particles, they observed that the target stayed active after the bombardment stopped. It was a great surprise. Everyone had tacitly assumed that the explosion of a nucleus followed immediately on its swallowing an energetic particle, and had arranged his experimental practice to suit. At the Rad Lab belief that residual activity does not exist affected operations. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)

After Cockcroft, Lawrence faced Ernest Rutherford, who declared that no neutrons come from lithium under deuteron bombardment, and Chadwick, who insisted that the mass of the neutron is exactly what he had said. Then came the theorists. Heisenberg observed that if disintegration occurred in the electric field of the nucleus, the yield should decline for heavy targets since the deuteron's penetration, and hence the rate of change of force on it, must decrease with increasing atomic number. The debate continued when Lawrence stuck his head in the Cavendish lion's den on the way back to Berkeley.

Lawrence, who had advertised possession of the world's most powerful neutron beam (formed by irradiating beryllium-9 with ten billionths of an ampere of accelerated deuterons) once again confirmed and extended European results, and expressed surprise at the richness of nuclear transactions. From March of 1934 until the Laboratory went to war, the investigation and production of artificial isotopes by neutron, proton, deuteron, and alpha-particle beams dominated its research program. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)

Other isotopes generated by his cyclotron, however, found important applications in medicine. Phosphorus-32 has been used successfully in the treatment of leukemia, polycythemia vera, other bone-marrow disorders, and Hodgkins disease; iodine-131 in the treatment of thyroid disease; and cobalt-60 in cancer chemotherapy. Perhaps the most interesting of these substances to the physicist and chemist is technetium-99, used in cancer diagnosis. Lawrence presented this object to Emilio Segrč, who visited the Laboratory in the summer of 1936 and took the "invaluable gift" to Italy, to stimulate nuclear science at the University of Palermo. In June 1937 Segrč's group announced the first element made by man. Medical application of the new element began in 1947. Half of the seventy artificial radionuclides in common use in medicine today first made their appearances in cyclotrons, and half of these were discovered, or first synthesized, at the Radiation Laboratory.
