Abstract
FOLLOWING earlier work on the conversion of a betatron to a synchrotron1, a 30-MeV. electron synchrotron has been constructed and was first operated in October 1947. The machine is shown in Fig. 1, and employs a rectangular-yoke magnet, designed to give maximum space for experimental work. A more compact magnet, with eight C-shaped yokes, has also been designed by the English Electric Co., Ltd., for medical and industrial use, and is shown in Fig. 2 ; this magnet uses the .same poles as that of Fig. 1, and should, therefore, give the same performance.
