==History==

===The Road to the SRC: 1953 to 1968===

In 1953 15 universities formed the Midwest Universities Research Association (MURA) to promote and design a high energy [[proton]] [[synchrotron]], to be built in the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]]. With the intent of constructing a large accelerator, MURA purchased a suitable area of land with an underlying flat limestone base near Stoughton, Wisconsin, about 10 miles from the [[Madison, Wisconsin|Madison]] campus of the University of Wisconsin. A small electron storage ring, operating at 240 Mev, was designed as a test facility to study high currents, and construction of this ring started in 1965. However, in 1963 [[President of the United States|President]] [[Lyndon B. Johnson|Johnson]] had decided that the next large accelerator facility would not be built at the MURA site, but in [[Batavia]], [[Illinois]] - this became [[Fermilab]]. In 1967 MURA dissolved with the storage ring incomplete and with no further funding.

===Synchrotron Stuff===

In 1966 a subcommittee of the National Research Council, which had been investigating the properties of [[synchrotron radiation]] from the 240 MeV ring, recommended it be completed as a tool for spectroscopy. A successful proposal was made to the [[US Air Force]] Office of Scientific Research, and the ring was completed in 1968, administered by the University of Wisconsin. <ref name="Tant">{{Cite journal

For two decades Tantalus produced hundreds of experiments

and was a testing ground for many of the synchrotron techniques

used today. Its administrative home, the University of

Wisconsin Synchrotron Radiation Center, was located in a

compound.

===Tantalus: 1968-1985===

With the new Aladdin storage ring operating, Tantalus was officially decommissioned in 1987, although it was run for six weeks in the summer of 1988 for experiments in atomic and molecular fluorescence. The storage ring was disassembled in 1995, and half the ring, the RF cavity and one of the original beamlines are now in storage at the Smithsonian Institution.<ref name="Tant" />

===Aladdin: 1985===

Funding for the new ring was obtained from the NSF, the State of Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). The final design was a four straight section 1 GeV ring, of 89 m circumference, and construction of some componenets started 1978. A new 32,000 sq ft building to house the facility started construction in April 1979. The initial target date for first stored beam was October 1980. <ref name="Aladdin">{{Cite journal

==Notable Science==

==G. J. Lapeyre award==

In 1973 the vault that held Tantalus was being enlarged, and during a facility picnic a rainstorm hit and caused the vault to start to flood. Jerry Lapeyre of [[Montana State University]] used the lab's tractor to build earthworks to divert the water. His efforts led then-director Rowe to create the annual G. J. Lapeyre award to be awarded to “one who met and overcame the greatest obstacle in the pursuit of their research”. The trophy has an octagonal base representing Tantalus, with a beer can from the lab picnic which preceded the flood, topped by a concrete “raindrop”.<ref name="Lapeyre">{{Cite journal
