The Radial Ridge Cyclotron papers include proposals relating to it and its development and operation, 1956-1966. The New National Cyclotron papers include the proposal for 1575 precision cyclotron, 1962.
William Ernest Burcham was a professor of physics at University of Birmingham, 1951-1998. He was in charge of all matters relating to the Nuffield Cyclotron (except financial and building matters) and especially to strengthen its emerging nuclear physics program. He continued until 1960. From 1957 until 1973 he had charge of the construction and use of the Radial Ridge cyclotron. He retired in 1980.
