Nuclear physics at Ohio University was started in 1962 with the hiring of Professor Roger Finlay
It's been a half-century of discovery at the Edwards Accelerator Laboratory with first design-voltage operations in 1971
This gift level recognizes that the initial research program utilized a small 150-kV Cockroft-Walton accelerator for generating neutrons
This gift level recognizes the 4.5-MV tandem accelerator which was funded by a $1M grant awarded by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to Ohio U in 1967
The accelerator itself took 18 months to manufacture and over 10 months to install, with the first experiments starting in 1971
