University of Wisconsin-Madison Synchrotron Radiation Center "Tantalus" radiation source collections, 1940-1995.
Material documenting the "Tantalus" project, the first dedicated synchrotron radiation laboratory and source. Consists largely of notebooks, manuals, and other data and operational logbooks documenting the creating, building and maintenance of Tantalus, and the experiments performed on the machine. Series 5 includes interviews with Ednor Rowe, Fred Brown, Cliff Olson, Charles Pruett, and Roger Otte.
At the University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1965-1967, a team led by particle physicist Ednor Rowe began constructing a machine designed to analyze high-energy particle accelerators. As the apparatus neared completion, the project lost its funding, which led the scientists to nickname their machine "Tantalus."
