Page 290 - BESAC, subcommittees may be formed. The objectives of the subcommittees are to make recommendations to the parent committee with respect to particular matters related to the responsibilities of the parent committee. Ad hoc members from outside BESAC may be appointed by the subcommittee chairperson to ensure the expertise necessary to conduct the subcommittee's business.
Page 157 - LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It is a great pleasure for me to be here this morning. I want to say to you, however, that Mr. Lynch is slightly mistaken in saying that I represent solely an employers' association, because some of our members have stated that our committee is the tail of Mr.
Page 41 - A third accomplishment is related to the circular accelerators, called synchrotrons, that require electric power at a changing frequency to take account of the changing velocity of particles in the accelerator. At the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) at Los Alamos National Laboratory, a full-sized prototype cavity has been successfully tested using magnetic materials called ferrites for the tuning of a synchrotron accelerating cavity, which is that part of the accelerator mechanism that...
Page 274 - A secondary objective is to provide graduate students with first-hand experience in the use of sophisticated research instrumentation. The URI program complements the Department's energy research and technology programs. Generally, research grants and contracts provide support only for research operating cost (salaries, computer time, etc.) with funding for new equipment limited to instruments costing under $30,000. The URI program assists universities in purchasing instruments costing over $100,000...

Profound achievements along this path of research have included new insights and understanding related to gravity by Newton and Gallileo, electricity and magnetism by Maxwell and Hertz, the atom and nucleus by Rutherford and Fermi, and relativity by Einstein. Scientists exploring the subparticle structure of matter and unification...
