CHESS-U accelerator design: From two beams to one
When CESR first came online in 1979, the accelerator was optimized for high-energy physics (HEP), with a design based on the "FODO" concept: one unit cell was comprised of a horizontally-focusing quadrupole, a dipole, a vertically-focusing quadrupole, and another dipole.
Particle physics detector makes way for upgrade
On September 6th, the solenoid from the CLEO detector was removed from the area known as L-Zero at Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory, the former interaction point of electron and positron colliding beams.
