Alonso, J R

The operational experience of the Bevatron can be divided into four major periods: first, the commissioning and early experimental period, when the Bevatron was among the highest-energy machines available (1954-1962); second, a period of increasing beam intensity and higher sophistication in the experimental program (1963-1973); third, the light-ion (A less than or equal to 56) period (1974-1981; and finally, the ongoing heavy-ion period. Reference material for this paper was taken mainly from internal LBL reports and log books.
