The nuclear physics program of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institution began in the 1920s and continued into the mid 1970s. The program was largely driven by Dr. Merle A. Tuve. Pioneering studies of proton-proton scattering and Coulomb excitation work were among the many scientific experiments conducted on high voltage apparatuses by Tuve, N.P. Heydenburg, and others.
