An extrapolation of the ISABELLE 200-200 GeV/sup 2/ proton--proton storage rings to higher energy was studied, and the conceptual design is presented for a 400-400 GeV/sup 2/ version. The basic storage ring structure was so modified that the circumference of the rings could be substantially increased without an increase of the transition energy. Because of the now well established microwave longitudinal bunched beam instability, this is essential in maintaining a viable longitudinal impedance limit for the overall structure. The principal parameters for the 400 GeV structure are given and compared with the basic 200 GeV design. Performance limitations, where they may differ from the 200 GeV design are indicated. Each 400 GeV ring uses superconducting magnets essentially identical to those employed in the 200 GeV design, but energized to 50 kG peak field. The justification for this is given together with other technical features differing from the basic design. It is concluded that for a cost increase of 40% over the basic p--p storage ring design, twice the center-of-mass energy could be provided for the ISABELLE proton--proton colliding beam facility.

This book analyses the emergence of a transformed Big Science in Europe and the United States, using both historical and sociological perspectives. It shows how technology-intensive natural sciences grew to a prominent position in Western societies during the post-World War II era, and how their development cohered with both technological and social developments. At the helm of post-war science are large-scale projects, primarily in physics, which receive substantial funds from the public purse. Big Science Transformed shows how these projects, popularly called 'Big Science', have become symbols of progress. It analyses changes to the political and sociological frameworks surrounding publicly-funding science, and their impact on a number of new accelerator and reactor-based facilities that have come to prominence in materials science and the life sciences. Interdisciplinary in scope, this book will be of great interest to historians, sociologists and philosophers of science.

Little did Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and other ‘gentlemen scientists’ know, when they were making their scientific discoveries, that some centuries later they would inspire a new field of scientific practice and innovation, called citizen science. The current growth and availability of citizen science projects and relevant applications to support citizen involvement is massive; every citizen has an opportunity to become a scientist and contribute to a scientific discipline, without having any professional qualifications. With geographic interfaces being the common approach to support collection, analysis and dissemination of data contributed by participants, ‘geographic citizen science’ is being approached from different angles. Geographic Citizen Science Design takes an anthropological and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) stance to provide the theoretical and methodological foundations to support the design, development and evaluation of citizen science projects and their user-friendly applications. Through a careful selection of case studies in the urban and non-urban contexts of the Global North and South, the chapters provide insights into the design and interaction barriers, as well as on the lessons learned from the engagement of a diverse set of participants; for example, literate and non-literate people with a range of technical skills, and with different cultural backgrounds. Looking at the field through the lenses of specific case studies, the book captures the current state of the art in research and development of geographic citizen science and provides critical insight to inform technological innovation and future research in this area.
