[++] "The Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) was built on the innovative concept of the alternating gradient, or strong-focusing, principle, developed by Brookhaven physicists Ernst Courant, M. Stanley Livingston, and Hartland Snyder in the 1950s. This breakthrough concept in accelerator design allowed scientists to accelerate protons to energies that would have been otherwise unachievable. The AGS became the world's premiere accelerator when it reached its design energy of 33 billion electron volts (GeV) in July of 1960."--Brookhaven National Lab pages, "A History of Leadership in Particle Accelerator Design".
