	Accelerator: Circular Cyclotrons and Synchrotrons
		A synchrotron (sometimes called a synchro-cyclotron) is a circular accelerator which has an electromagnetic resonant cavity (or perhaps a few placed at regular intervals around the ring) to accelerate the particles.
		The range of energies over which particles can be accelerated in a single ring is determined by the range of field strength available with high precision from a particular set of magnets.
		The energy lost from the beam by this radiation effect must be restored by introducing accelerating cavities at one or more places in the ring, to give the particles a kick in energy every time they pass.

	Cornell News: Robert Wilson obituary
		The former director of the Cornell Laboratory of Nuclear Studies and of the Enrico Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) was 85.
		Wilson took a leave of absence from the Cornell faculty in 1967 to assume directorship of the National Accelerator Laboratory, where what was to be the highest-energy particle accelerator was under construction in Batavia, Ill. Under Wilson's leadership, the four-mile-circumference, 400 GeV (400 billion electron volt) machine was completed on time and under budget.
		Among the numerous honors to Wilson during his 40-year career in particle physics were the National Medal of Science (1973); the Enrico Fermi Award (1984) from the U.S. Department of Energy; as well as election to the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.

	For the Public
		CDF is an experiment at Fermilab, which is currently home to the world's most powerful particle accelerator called the Tevatron.
		The Tevatron accelerates protons and antiprotons close to the speed of light, and then makes them collide head-on inside the CDF detector.
		The CDF detector is used to study the products of such collisions; by doing this we try to reconstruct what happened in the collision and ultimately try to figure out how matter is put together and what forces nature uses to create the world around us!

		Later this month, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago will begin shooting trillions of subatomic "neutrino" particles through 450 miles of solid earth, their target a detector at the Soudan Underground Laboratory beneath this Iron Range town.
		When operating, Fermi's half-mile-long accelerator will shoot 10 trillion neutrinos at Soudan every two seconds in pulses lasting only ten-millionths of a second.
		By studying differences between neutrinos that leave Fermi and those detected at Soudan, researchers hope to better understand the mysterious particles.
