Cornell-CESR()

Cornell Electron storage Ring
(
  • Started: 1979,
  • Still Running
)
Buried 40 feet beneath Alumni Field on the Cornell University campus is the 768 meter Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). CESR was constructed as an electron-positron collider operating at a center-of-mass energy in the range of 3.5-12 GeV. CESR is now used as an x-ray source for a state-of-the-art x-ray facility, known as the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), and is also used as a test-bed accelerator for exploring the latest accelerator physics technologies and concerns. Its performance and operation are a milestone step in Cornell's longstanding history of accelerator physics: Cornell built a cyclotron as early as 1935.
