	Edwin Mattison McMillan, September 18, 1907—September 8, 1991 \| By J. David Jackson and W. K. H. Panofsky \| ...
		McMillan also understood clearly the focusing effect of the radial fall-off of the magnetic field and the magnitude of the deviation from the synchronicity condition in the cyclotron produced by that radial fall-off, added to the relativistic mass increase.
		McMillan recognized that when particles are accelerated in a radiofrequency field not at the crest of the radiofrequency amplitude but on the side of the waveform, the particles would be locked stably at a certain phase.
		McMillan himself participated in the mapping of the neutron beam produced by high-energy deuterons on internal targets and was an advisory participant in innumerable experiments.

		McMillan, a physicist who retired in 1973 as head of the University of California's Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, last year was awarded the National Medal of Science, the nation's highest award for scientific achievement.
		McMillan also was a pioneer in the theory of phase stability, a concept that made giant modern linear accelerators possible.
		McMillan was also a major contributor to the development of the cyclotron, or atom smasher, used in the study of subatomic physics.

	McMillan, Edwin Mattison
		McMillan was educated at the California Institute of Technology and at Princeton University, where he earned a Ph.D. in 1932.
		McMillan also made a major advance in the development of Ernest Lawrence's cyclotron, which in the early 1940s had run up against its theoretical limit.
		McMillan was chairman of the National Academy of Sciences from 1968 to 1971.

		The first transuranium element of which there was definite proof was produced by McMillan and Abelsson in May 1940 at the University of California, by irradiating uranium with neutrons with the aid of the cyclotron built by Lawrence.

		In 1940 Edwin McMillan, assisted by Philip Abelson (later editor of Science magazine), confirmed and elucidated the phenomenon of nuclear fission announced by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1939.
		McMillan also predicted the existence of element 94, plutonium, which he expected to find among the products of uranium under direct deuteron bombardment.
		McMillan, however, was suddenly called away to do war work and eventually joined the program at Los Alamos to build nuclear bombs.

	Nobel Prize Awarded To Nine Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Scientists
		A multitude of experiments blossomed from this revelation and in 1940, Edwin McMillan and UC Berkeley chemist Philip Abelson, sifting through the swarm of radioactive species that fission produced, were able to identify -- via the nature of its radioactivity -- element 93.
		Continuing his work, McMillan found evidence that mixed in with the neptunium he produced was element 94, but his studies were interrupted when he was called to MIT to help develop radar as part of the war effort.
		McMillan's findings led to the invention of a new type of accelerator, which he named the "synchrotron." The giant circular accelerators used by physicists today are synchrotrons.

		A synchrotron is a high-energy particle accelerator, similar to a cyclotron, in which the magnetic field and/or the frequency are fluctuated during acceleration.
		McMillan relates how he arived at the idea for the synchrotron, and he describes the institutional process that his proposed project underwent to obtain approval.

		Here the stable phase angle exists at the rising part of the rf amplitude; a particle whose energy and therefore velocity are below the norm arrives late and therefore experiences a larger radiofrequency amplitude, with the converse being true for a particle whose energy and velocity are above the norm.
