The definition of the Mega-science facility, and its creation, is discussed in this first chapter of Mega Science Projects.
The first nuclear facilities, such as generators and linear- and cyclic accelerators from the first half of the 20th century, are discussed in the second chapter.
The third chapter deals with the history of atomic projects from around the world, which were specifically designed for uranium enrichment and plutonium production.
This chapter is about the first accelerators incorporated in atomic projects, such as isotope separation facilities, breeder reactors and breeder accelerators.
A discussion about an electromagnetic uranium separator and the first linear proton accelerator.
In 1944 the phase stability principle was discovered by academician Vladimir Veksler; a discovery which ushered in a new era of accelerators. Learn more about this discovery and its impact.
In this chapter you will hear about the first weak focusing proton synchrotrons ever created.
Following the development of the weak focusing proton synchrotrons, we now look into the next type of accelerating machines based on strong focusing principle: AGS, Proton Synchrotron, U-7 and U-70.
A discussion about the experiments that led to the discovery of new particles and the first methods of particle classification.
