Project Matterhorn.
Project Matterhorn publications and reports, 1951-1958.
Reports or publications originating from Project Matterhorn were issued starting with 1951 with New York Operations Office (NYO) numbers under various listings such as PM-S, PM, PM-Q, Technical Memorandum and Publication Numbers. This collection contains reports and publications issued between 1951 and 1958. Beginning with 1959, all publications issued stopped using NYO numbers (and the corresponding designations mentioned above). All future publications from 1959 on, would bear the prefix MATT.
Project Matterhorn was the code name for the controlled thermonuclear research effort started by Princeton University in 1951 under the leadership of Lyman Spitzer. In 1951, Spitzer outlined the basic concept for creating the stellarator, a device for confining and heating ionized hydrogen gas to release fusion energy for the production of power. He was able to receive support from the US Atomic Energy Commission as well as Princeton University which lay the foundation for starting Project Matterhorn. Project Matterhorn (PM) became later Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (1961), which Spitzer directed until 1967.
