A March 1977 Physics Today article (http://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/pdf/10.1063/1.3037446) about a synchrotron light source to be built at Brookhaven National Lab catalyzed John’s scientific plans for his work there.
The facility, called the National Synchrotron Light Source, would allow various user communities to access high-intensity light of specific wavelengths for scientific experiments.
With his start-up package, John built beamline U9B for circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.
Thus began John’s intense and long involvement with synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD).
In 1979, John became principal investigator of the Synchrotron UV User Facility at Brookhaven.
