Cyclotrons – 1978

Compiled by John A. Martin

            This 1978 compilation of the world’s cyclotrons is dedicated to the memory of Dr. F. T. Howard to honor his many years of contribution to accelerator science and technology.  Dr. Robert S. Livingston, one of the leaders in the development of the isochronous cyclotron and a friend of Dr. Howard’s over a span of three decades wrote the following:

“On the evening of April 1, 1976, death came quietly to Dr. Frederick Thomas Howard.  Culminating a lifetime of productive scientific work, much of it in the accelerator information category, Cyclotrons – 1975, prepared for the Seventh International Conference on Cyclotrons, was one of his last accomplishments.

            Starting in the mid-1950s, Dr. Howard originated a series of inquiry forms covering various types of accelerators.  He proceeded to communicate diligently with the scientists responsible for the many accelerator installations and he succeeded over the years in developing authoritative compilations of characteristics of cyclotrons, synchrotrons, linear accelerators and electrostatic accelerators.  Dr. Howard’s forms and survey techniques were copied officially and unofficially all over the world.  His summaries of isochronous cyclotrons followed that field from its beginning in the early 1960s through the completion of the 1975 survey.

            One of Dr. Howard’s most ambitious projects was the collection and analysis of the accelerator data contained in the National Academy of Science volume Perspectives in Physics, headed by D. Alan Bromley and developed by a large group of scientists in 1969.

            Dr. Howard had a consuming interest in the details of accelerators and the patience and persistence to cajole the hundreds of respondents to his intricate information requests to provide consistent and accurate data.  He made endless telephone calls to track down seeming inconsistencies or to locate missing pieces of information.

            The summaries and varied accelerator data compilations produced by Dr. Howard will remain a fitting tribute and memorial portraying appropriately his love for the big and little machines of science and testifying to his patience, diligence and skill in producing a quarter century record of accelerator high technology.”

            The cooperation of all who participated in this present survey is sincerely appreciated.

                                                                                                                                    J.A.M.
