Even though many of the experiments leading to the standard model of particle physics were done at large accelerator laboratories in the US and at CERN[1] many exciting developments happened in smaller national facilities all over the world. In this report we highlight the history of accelerator facilities in Sweden which was home to the highest-energy cyclotron in Europe for some time in the early 1950s.
