National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract	John Blewett's lecture on the The Cosmotron is a commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of Brookhaven National Laboratory. The Cosmotron was born in 1947, with a goal in mind for its designers - to operate the first accelerator to reach a billion electron volts. In his lecture, Blewett describes the team effort involved in designing the Cosmotron and the problems faced by the team in its construction. In May of 1952, the team reached its goal. The Cosmotron was Brookhaven's first proton synchrotron and the world's accelerator to produce particles at energies in the billion-electron-volt, or GeV, region. Brookhaven's Cosmotron made the front pages of all the newspapers, including the New York Times and Newsday. In his lecture, Blewett describes the Cosmotron's team hard effort, dedication and enthusiasm, which led to the success of the Cosmotron: a machine that could accelerate protons to energies comparable to those of the cosmic rays. The Cosmotron made possible the first major explorations of meson physics and many of the dicoveries that now are the foundations of high energy particle physics.
