  1. A New Field of Research Art Poskanzer

  2. Omnitron two rings, but not a collider conceived 1964 by Al, Bob Main, and Bob Smith; proposed 1966 not supported by Lab Director; not funded 1967; SuperHILAC

  3. Bevalac Idea • Al asks Frank Selph: March 1971 • Memo by Al: same day • Lofgren, McMillan, and Seaborg enthusiastic • Conceptual Design: April 1971 • Funding Start: July 1971 • Funded: early 1972

  4. Publication of the Bevalac Idea “would open a whole new field of theoretical and experimental science.” 1972

  5. Bevalac Transport Line 0.1 km
