electron accelerators with disc-loaded guides. Using approximations for electromagnetic fields, Ross Bell estimated losses in the guides and electron bunching after acceleration. Her research on electron and proton linear accelerators were published in
Harwell reports, which were used by teams of scientists around the world.

which decelerated and stored antiprotons. Ross Bell worked on magnetic cooling and storage rings. Her calculations were consistently more rigorous, reproducible and transferable to other accelerators. Towards the end of the 1980s Ross Bell expanded to accelerator physics. In particular, she worked on

Towards the end of the 1960s she joined the electron cooling group. The detection of the W and Z particles required breakthroughs in engineering such that the antiproton beam had a density equivalent to the proton beam, reducing any thermal oscillations. In 1979 she described the electron cooling in

and eventually joined the Theory
Division. In 1950 it emerged that Fuchs had been spying for Russia, and he went to prison for 14 years. Bell and Ross Bell ended up in the same group on accelerator physics. Here Ross Bell was part of the Theory Division, and worked on the theory of short (2 metre)
