Innovation Was Not Enough : a History Of The Midwestern Universities Research Association (Mura).
This book presents a history of the Midwestern Universities Research Association (MURA) during its lifetime from the early 1950s to the late 1960s. MURA was responsible for a number of important contributions to the science of particle accelerators, including the invention of fixed field alternating...
