Status of the University of Maryland Cyclotron

The University of Maryland Cyclotron has been available for use by experimentalists since summer, 1970. This paper includes a brief description of the main features of the cyclotron and of the facilities currently available for experiments. (For detailed descriptions see references 1-4.) Operation of the cyclotron is discussed and the results of a few tests on the external beam are presented. Finally, data obtained from three experiments is presented to demonstrate the over-all energy resolution available for a given experimental setup.
