On 14 December 1949, the Synchrocyclotron, the first basic facility of JINR later reconstructed into the Phasotron, was launched. The Synchrocyclotron was ready for operation within a record-breaking period. It was a historic event that enabled the development of a new field of scientific research – high-energy particle physics. At the Synchrocyclotron, deuterons were accelerated up to the energy of 280 MeV, α-particles – up to 250 MeV, and afterwards, protons – up to 480 MeV. Until 1953, the Synchrocyclotron had been the largest accelerator in the world.
