A veteran synchrotron user, David Shirley felt strongly that synchrotron radiation could play a large role in U.S. science and that the West Coast in particular needed a low-energy machine.
Klaus Halbach's insertion-device technology would make "third-generation" light sources possible.
This study was sponsored by the Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, and co-chaired by Peter Eisenberger and Michael L. Knotek.
The case for the ALS was furthered at the Seitz-Eastman review, sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences at the request of Jay Keyworth, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
A major earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area on October 17, 1989, at 5:04 pm local time. Caused by a slip along the San Andreas Fault, the quake lasted 10-15 seconds and measured 7.1.
