This week’s Cover Picture comes from Cornell’s Alumni magazine Cornelliana: Stories from their history. I came across their post celebrating 75th birthday of the Newman Lab. (no relation) Which is a list of interesting facts about the Lab, home to Cornell’s first synchrotron that opened in 1948. The picture is of the synchrotron ring.
Now a synchrotron is not the same thing as a clyclotron, of course. Here’s an interesting paper explaining the distinctions: Comparison of cyclotron and synchrotron in particle therapy.
Here’s also a link to the CERN Proton synchrotron. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really enjoy this Lars Müller publication: Inside Cern book, by photographer Andri Pol. (the scientist at the empty coffee pot is kind of amusing.)
Finally, how did I stumble across the Cornelliana? I was looking for a paper (is relation) and also came across the excellent computer sciences course page here: CS 6241: Numerical Methods for Data Science.
