The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) turns 50 this month! On June 9, 1972, the facility's powerful proton linear accelerator reached an astounding 800 mega electron volts. Celebrate this milestone anniversary with a new episode of the National Security Science podcast, which highlights the various ways this multipurpose facility supports the Lab's important national security work. First up, National Security Science writer Jill Gibson interviews Los Alamos scientist Anna Llobet Megias, who has spent a significant part of her career using LANSCE for cutting-edge science. Next, the NSS team tours some of the LANSCE facilities with LANSCE Director Michael Furlanetto. And lastly, we dive into history with an excerpt from a 1983 article by “the father of LANSCE,” Louis Rosen.
