Project M Reports Now On-Line
By Jean Deken
The Stanford University Physics Department ‘Project M’ reports dating
from 1956 to 1962, including those produced by the Microwave Lab and the
then-named High-Energy Physics Lab (HEPL), are now available on-line.
Called Project M from 1956-1960, the collaboration was renamed ‘The
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center’ in 1960. The ‘M’ in the project name
was for ‘Multi-Gev’ or ‘Monster.’
The Project M Reports’ web page has been a joint effort of the Technical
Publications Department and Archives and History Office. They located,
listed and scanned original reports retired to the Archives by the SLAC
Library and by long-time Research Division staff. Users can follow links
in a numeric list and view PDF files of the scanned publications. Please
note the quality of some PDF files is poor because the original
documents are blurred or indistinct. (Remember the good old days of
purple ditto copies and black and white mimeographs?)
Fugitive Papers
Publications listed without links are reports that are known to have
been published, but no hard copies have yet been located at SLAC. Your
help in locating ‘fugitive’ papers is needed so they can be scanned and
added. Anyone with a copy of these fugitives is encouraged to contact
the Technical Publications Department (Ext. 2594) or Archives (Ext.
3091).
The new page (http://www.slac.stanford.edu/history/oldrepts.shtml)
can also be reached from the Archives and History Office website via the
SU Physics Reports link under Resources (www.slac.stanford.edu/history).
