Exhaustive Research Of Jorgensen, Cook Kuyaft
Done Under Atomic Energy Commission Contract
By DICK FELLMAN
Staff Writer
At the present time in an
Isolated corner of Brace Physics
Laboratory, three men are calm
ly experimenting on the effects
of accelerated atoms as they are
energized into a column of gas.
They are quietly observing the
reactions of various atoms. As
yet, they have made no practical
application of the new findings,
for this experiment is In the
field of pure atomic research.
THE EXPERIMENT is being
done on the Cockcroft-Walton
Atomic Accelerator, a machine
that energizes ions up to 400,000
volts and focuses them into a
beam of gas. Once the ions
reach the gas, they are slowed
down, and their reaction Is
measured.
Dr. Theodore Jorgensen, pro
fessor of physics, began work
lng on the atomic accelerator
few years ago and has inter
csted two students in the new
work. Dr. Charles Cook, a for
mer student at the University
and now on the staff, worked
on the accelerator while study
ing for his Doctors degree in
physics and wrote his thesis on
this same experiment.
At the present time, Chris
Kuyatt, a graduate student in
the physics department, is con
tinuing the work on the acceler
ator, hoping to uncover new fen

Kettering has known and worked
with such American stage per

Laughton.
He is the playwrite of the
Broadway hits "The Marriage

written three books: "This Is My

"Hello Sweetheart," the story of
the life and loves of producer
Al Woods, which will reach the
market in Dec.

THE PLEASANT showman
said there has never been a play
produced 'with an all-male cast
that has been a success. "The

THE PROCESS of testlwt the
atoms begins when atom's of nny
light gas are placed in a high
potential vacuum and acceler
ated at a determined voltage.
The ions receive this energy in
a high potential column and ad
vance to the accelerating col
umn, which simply hurries them
along, continuing in a series of
columns almost fifteen feet long
until reaching the analyzing
magnet.
' The magnet shoots the Ions at
an angle of twenty degrees into
a column filled with one of the
light gases, which will slow the
atom down. The experiment
determines the amount of energy
lost as various ions are slowed
by entering the gns.
After determining the rate of
energy lost, the accelerator
shows the characteristics of the
ions while they are loosing their
energy and after they have lost
it. The twofold results reached
with each different type of ions
as it enters a new gns is the
purpose of the experiment.
ORIGINALLY, the voltace in
the University's atomic acceler
ator was 250,000, but it has re
cently been raised to 400,000
volts. It is still considered a low
voltage accelerator, although
guards have been placed around
most of the electrical equipment,
ror even 400,000 volts can be
rather dangerous.
ine present experiments are
all in the field of atomic physics.
or working with the entire atom,
rather' than nuclear physics,
which breaks the atom down
and experiments with the in
dividual parts of the nucleus.
Even though it operates at
only 400,000 volts, this machine
could be used for extensive nu
clear research problems by
simply increasing its capacity.
Although the Cockcroft-Walton
atomic accelerator is now being
used for this single purpose, in
the future the concentrated
beam of ions that the machine
creates may be converted to dif
ferent work.
IN CARRYING "out this re
search on atomic energy, the
University is working under a
contract from the Atomic Enerev
Commission. Similar ex
periments in other particular
fields of nuclear and atomic de
velopment is being done at vari
ous centers and universities
throughout the nation.
As these men. and others like
them in many other places, con
tinue their tedious but fascinat
ing work, our knowledge of the
universe is slowly being ad
vanced. Most of today's scien
tists' firmly believe that this new
understanding will help all men,
f we can co-ordinate our scien
tific "know-how" with good
sense and appy them to the com
mon good.

Two Former
Dental College
Teachers Die
Dr. George Ai Grubb, former
dean of the College of Dentistry,
and Dr. Bernhardt Schwartz,
former instructor in the College
of Dentistry, died last weekend.
Dr. G. Grubb, dean of the Col
lege of Dentistry from 1923 to
1939, was a part time instructor
in the college prior to assuming
this position. Dr. Grubb, out
standing in his field, served on
the executive board of the
American Association of Dental
Schools from 1936 to 1939.
Before retiring in 1949, Dr.
Schwartz was with the Lincoln
Dental College. When it merged
with the University be became
an instructor in peridontia and
oral hygiene.
