U-70, Research synchrotron in Protvino, Russia
The U-70 synchrotron accelerates protons to energies reaching 76 GeV through a circular path spanning 1483 meters at the Institute for High Energy Physics.
The facility started operations in 1967 as the Soviet Union's primary particle accelerator, marking a significant advancement in nuclear physics research worldwide.
Scientists from various Russian institutions collaborate at U-70 to conduct experiments in particle physics and contribute to international research publications.
The synchrotron complex operates on nine-second acceleration cycles, with protons first reaching 30 MeV in the URAL-30 linear accelerator before entering the main ring.
In 1978, researcher Anatoli Bugorski survived direct exposure to the proton beam when it passed through his head during equipment maintenance.
