CAL INST1TUTE OF THE USSR INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS. The new 680-Mev synchrotron is a weak-focusing accelerator with internal high-voltage injection. Its design is based on the components of the 180-Mev accelerator, used as a model of the 10-Bev machine of the Joint Institute of Nuclear Investigations. By using an 800-kev Van de Graaff accelerator the number of electrons reaching the limiting energy was (5 to 6) x 10/sup 8/; tests are in progress to increase this level. The electromagnet of the synchrotron consists of four 2-m radius circular sections subdivided by a 67-cm long interspace. The initial rate of change of the magnetic field tension H is 20,000 oersted/sec. The chamber is made of porcelain; a large portion of the internal surface is covered with aquadag,---- other portions are covered with a 50-micron thick Ag layer. The Van de Graaff accelerator operates under a nitrogen atmosphere under a pressure of 5 to 6 atmospheres, under a relative humidity of 0.05%. The energy of the injected electrons can be stabilized at the desired level with great precision. The resonance acceleration of the electrons is carried out in 2 stages. In addition to the auxiliary control and adjustment devices, the startup and shakedown operations are described. (TTT)
