Bevatron
Berkeley , CA null United States

Il Bevatron è un acceleratore di particelle, in particolare un sincrotrone per protoni, del Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, che ha operato dal 1954 al 1993.Al Bevatron vennero effettuati gli esperimenti che portarono alla scoperta dell'antiprotone nel 1955. Per questa scoperta il fisico italiano Emilio Segrè e lo statunitense Owen Chamberlain ricevettero il Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1959. I protoni venivano accelerati nell'anello di 55 m di diametro e venivano inviati a collidere su targhette metalliche, con un'energia finale di 6.5 GeV. Il nome Bevatron deriva dall'accezione inglese usata all'epoca per indicare i GeV: Billions of eV Synchrotron.

UC Theater
2001 Gayley Rd Berkeley , CA 94720 United States

The UC Theatre was a movie theater on University Avenue near Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, California, known for having a revival house presentation of films, from the 1970s until its closing.In 2013, The Berkeley Music Group was formed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission to renovate and operate the UC Theater as live music venue. It is scheduled for opening in Fall of 2015.HistoryOpened in 1917 as a first run theater, the 1,300-seat theater was acquired in 1974 by theater owner Gary Meyer as one of the first theaters—along with the Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles—in his Landmark Theatres chain. The theater was named after, but had no relation to, the nearby University of California, Berkeley. The theater under Meyer showed older films, in double or triple features, generally for a single night, but sometimes for a week at a time. Along with the Rialto, Telegraph and Northside theaters in Berkeley, it was one of the main venues in the East Bay for showing both domestic and foreign film classics.The theater closed in March 2001 when Landmark—no longer owned by Meyer—made the decision to close the theater rather than spend the reported $350,000 needed for a seismic upgrade. The theater was named a landmark by the City of Berkeley on 6 May 2002. As of early 2006, plans to convert the theater to a jazz club have been submitted to the City of Berkeley. A plan to convert it into a musical venue were proposed in 2009.
