German heavy‐ion accelerator approaches full energy
TLDR
UNILAC as discussed by the authors is a linear accelerator that is expected to be capable eventually of accelerating heavy nuclei such as uranium to 10 MeV/nucleon and lighter nuclei, such as argon to 14 MeV /n. The accelerator is the first to accelerate heavy ions over the full periodic table.Abstract:
What will probably be the most completely equipped laboratory in the world for heavy‐ion research is now operating 20 km from Frankfurt. The laboratory, GSI (Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung), houses UNILAC, a linear accelerator that is expected to be capable eventually of accelerating heavy nuclei, such as uranium to 10 MeV/nucleon and lighter nuclei, such as argon to 14 MeV/nucleon. When it is operating at full energy, for heavy nuclei, it will have the highest energy available in the world, at least for the immediate future. The accelerator is the first to accelerate heavy ions over the full periodic table.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the origin of the giant pleochroic halos was investigated and a natural and simple explanation which seems not to have been considered has been proposed, which seems to be of two kinds.
